14.6 Assignment 14.6 Problems: 2,9,12,18. Read examples 3 and 4 of 14.6 on page
982-983. Students are advised to review the examples of cylinders and quadric surfaces
in previous chapter.

14.6 Compute the triple integral I =

f (x, y, z)dV
T
2. f (x, y, z) = xy sin z, where T = { (x, y, z) | 0 x , 0 y , 0 z }.
Solution. Observe that T is a rectangular block, so the upper and lower integral
limits for the iterated integral are easily determined.

I=
xy sin z dzdydx

9. f (x, y, z) = x + y, where T is the region between the surfaces z = 2 x2 , and

z = x2 for 0 y 3.
Solution. We determine the point P (x, y, z) of the common intersection of these
two surfaces. As y does not show up in the dening equations of both graph
surfaces, i.e. These surfaces are a general cylinder obtained by pulling the curves
z = 2 x2 and z = x2 on xz-plane along the y-axis respectively. So we rst study
the region R bounded by the curves in xz-plane, we rst nd the intersection
points of these two curves, 2 x2 = z = x2 , i.e. 2x2 = 2, and hence x = 1, so
(x, z) = (1, 1). When x varies within the interval [1, 1], it follows from x2 1
and 2 x2 22 (1)2 = 1 x2 that the curve z = 2 x2 is above the curve
z = x2 . Hence, the region R in xz-plane can be described as D = { (x, z) | 1
x 1, and x2 z 2 x2 }. Return to the description of the domain T. If
P (x, y, z) lies on the the solid region T, then it follows that 0 y 3 and (x, z)
lies in D, i.e. T = { (x, y, z) | 1 x 1, 0 y 3 and x2 z 2 x2 }.

Then the triple integral I =

(x + y) dV =
(x + y) dzdydx
T

14.6 Sketch the solid (domain) T bounded by the graphs of the given equations, and
then nd its volume by triple integration.
12. z = y, y = x2 , y = 4, z = 0.
Solution. These 4 equations represents 4 surfaces in R3 , it takes a while to sort
out how they intersect each other. Among them, z = y, y = 4, z = 0 are equations
of 3 planes in which the variable x does not show up, then it follows that these
planes are pulling these 3 lines z = y, y = 4, z = 0 in yz-plane along the x-axis,
these 3 lines bound a triangular region R with coordinates (y, z) = (0, 0), (4, 0)
and (4, 4). In fact, R = { (y, z) | 0 y 4, and 0 z y }.

The remaining surface dened by y = x2 is also a general cylinder obtained by

pulling the parabola y = x2 along the z-axis, hence for any point P (x, y, z) in the
solid region T, one has (y, z) is in the region R, and it remains to determine the
condition on the coordinate x of the point P. For this, one needs to observe that
the parabola y = x2 and y = 4 enclose a bounded region S in the xy-plane, so one

has y x y for any point P (x, y, z) in T. Then we have T = { (x, y, z) | 0

y 4, y x y, and 0 z y }. It follows
from that the volume
of T is

Remark. We did not use the projection method in the solution above, in fact,
it would be easier to apply the projection method to obtain the shadow of T on
xy-plane, then one obtain the other description
T = { (x, y, z) | 2 x 2, x2 y 4, and 0 z y }.
17. z = x2 , y + z = 4, y = 0, z = 0.
Solution. Observe that the last equations dene three planes, which do not
involve the variable x, i.e. the planes are obtained by moving the lines dened
by these equations on xz-plane along the x-axis. On the yz-plane, one can draw
the lines easily and nd out that the lines enclose a triangle with vertices
(y, z) = (0, 0), (0, 4) and (4, 0). Then by moving the triangular region bounded
by along x-axis, we obtain a cylinder K, which is unbounded. Now the level
surface S1 : z x2 = 0 (i.e. the parabola z = x2 ) is also a cylinder as
the dening equation is independent of the variable y. One can then imagine the
surface S1 , like a U -shaped knife, cutting the innite long triangular bread K out
and obtain a bounded region T. The surface knife S1 rst meets the plane y = 0,
then goes through the interior of the triangular cylinder K, and nally leaves the
plane y + z = 4. (One may wonder whether S1 meets the third plane y = 0, the
answer is yes, as both surfaces S1 : z = x2 and z = 0 are cylinders moving along
the y-axis which has a common line = { (0, t, 0) | t R } given by the y-axis. )
Then project the solid region T onto the xz-plane, and we obtain its planar shadow
region R = { (x, z) | 2 x 2, x2 z 4 }. And R has boundary given by
the following two curves:
(i) one of the edge of the cylinder K, which is the intersection of y = 0 and
y + z = 4, i.e. z = 4 on the xz-plane;
(ii) one the
and th
So one can obtain the following description: T = { (x, y, z) | 2 x 2, x2
z 4, 0 y 4 z }.
18. z = 1 y 2 , z = y 2 1, x + z = 1, x = 0.
