1. R is the cube with sides of length 2 centered at {1, 0, 2}. It looks like this:
x 0.0

2. The volume of a certain solid R is measured by calculating R dx dy dz =    dx dy dz . Clearly

describe the solid and measure its volume in cubic units.

3. All the linear dimensions of a certain solid are tripled (multiplied by 3). What is the ratio of the new
volume to the original volume?
4. R is the solid whose boundary surfaces are the xy-plane, the yz-plane, the xz-plane, and the plane

5. When you start with the ellipsoid (egg)          r 2 in xyz-space and you go to uvw-
a b c
space using ux, y, z   , vx, y, z   , wx, y, z   , then the xyz-ellipsoid plots out as the sphere

u 2  v 2  w2  r 2 . In uvw-space, the volume enclosed by this sphere measures out to  r 3 .

Calculate the volume conversion factor Vuvw x, y, z  , and use the result to explain why the xyz-space

volume measurement of the region enclosed by the ellipsoid          r 2 is  a b c r 3 .

6. Given a transformation coming from x  xu, v, w, y  yu, v, w, z  zu, v, w, say how you use
gradxu, v, w, gradyu, v, w, and gradzu, v, w to calculate Vxyz u, v, w  0 . Then discuss the
meaning of Vxyz u, v, w .
7. Give a hand calculation of Rxyz y dx dy dz where R xyz is the region inside and on the “box”
bounded by the planes

z  2x (bottom )
z  2x  3 (top )
yx ( side)
y  x2 ( side)
y  2 x ( side)
y  2 x  4 ( side)
8. Look at this:
Clear[x,y,z,r,s,t];
{x[r_,s_,t_],y[r_,s_,t_],z[r_,s_,t_]}={2 r Cos[t],s(2-r)(2+0.5 Sin[t]),3 r Sin[t]};
rightskin=ParametricPlot3D[{x[r,1,t],y[r,1,t],z[r,1,t]},{r,0,1},{t,0,2 }];
leftskin=ParametricPlot3D[{x[r,-1,t],y[r,-1,t],z[r,-1,t]},{r,0,1},{t,0,2 }];
middleskin=ParametricPlot3D[{x[1,s,t],y[1,s,t],z[1,s,t]},{s,-1,1},{t,0,2 }];

Now look at this:

Clear[gradx,grady,gradz,Vxyz];
gradx[r_,s_,t_]={D[x[r,s,t], r],D[x[r,s,t],s],D[x[r,s,t],t]};
grady[r_,s_,t_]={D[y[r,s,t], r],D[y[r,s,t],s],D[y[r,s,t],t]};
gradz[r_,s_,t_]={D[z[r,s,t], r],D[z[r,s,t],s],D[z[r,s,t],t]};
Vxyz[r_,s_,t_]=TrigExpand[Det[{gradx[r,s,t],grady[r,s,t],gradz[r,s,t]}]]
Output: 24r  12r 2  6rSin[t ]  3r 2 Sin[t ]

Now look at this:

This tells you that Vxyz r , s, t   0 no matter what r, s, and t are. Now you are in the catbird seat
because you have enough information to give a short, sweet hand calculation of the volume enclosed
by the skin plotted above. Do it!
