Problem 19.

The paraboloid is z = 4 − r2 in cylindrical coordinates and it intersects

with the xy-plane in the circle r = 2. In the first octant θ ranges from 0 to π/2,
so we can write

E = {(r, θ, z) | 0 ≤ r ≤ 2, 0 ≤ θ ≤ , 0 ≤ z ≤ 4 − r2 }

Problem 21.

In cylindrical coordinates the cylinder is r = 1 and the cone is z = 2r.

Therefore the description of the solid E in cylindrical coordinates is

E = {(r, θ, z) | 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2r}

Problem 22.
p
The upper surface of E is the upper hemisphere
p z = 4 − x2 − y 2 and
its lower surface is the lower hemisphere z = − 4 − x2 − y 2 , so we can write
E in cylindrical coordinates as
p p
E = {(r, θ, z) | 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, − 4 − r2 ≤ z ≤ 4 − r2 }

Problem 23.
p
The upper surface of E is the p upper hemisphere z = 2 − x2 − y 2 and
2 2
its lower surface is the cone z = x + y . Because the cone and the sphere
intersect when x2 + y 2 = 1 and z = 1, the projection of E onto the xy-plane is
the disk x2 + y 2 ≤ 1. Therefore E can be described in cylindrical coordinates
as p
E = {(r, θ, z) | 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, r ≤ z ≤ 2 − r2 }

Problem 24.
p
The upper surface of E is the upper hemisphere z = 2 − x2 − y 2 and
its lower surface is the paraboloid z = x2 + y 2 . They intersect when z 2 + z = 2,
that is, z = 1 (we note that the other solution z = −2 is not valid here since z
must be nonnegative). Therefore the projection of E onto the xy-plane is the
disk x2 + y 2 ≤ 1 and we can write
p
E = {(r, θ, z) | 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, r2 ≤ z ≤ 2 − r2 }
