TRIPLE INTEGRALS

Example 1.Calculate the value of multiple integral y 2 z 2 dV where E 2 2 E is bounded by the paraboloid x = 1 y z and plane x = 0. Solution. In the rectangular coordinate system we can describe our region E as E = {(x, y, z)|(y, z) D, 0 x 1 y 2 z 2 } where D = {(x, y)|y 2 + z 2 1}. Therefore y 2 z 2 dV =

In order to evaluate the double integral over D it is better to use the polar coordinate system. We set z = rcos, y = rsin.

In the polar coordinate system we can describe the region D as D = {(r, )|0 r 1, 0 2}. So we have
