What is Triple integral: Definition and 321 Discussions

In mathematics (specifically multivariable calculus), a multiple integral is a definite integral of a function of several real variables, for instance, f(x, y) or f(x, y, z). Integrals of a function of two variables over a region in





R


2




{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}}
(the real-number plane) are called double integrals, and integrals of a function of three variables over a region in





R


3




{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}}
(real-number 3D space) are called triple integrals. For multiple integrals of a single-variable function, see the Cauchy formula for repeated integration.

    Is My Triple Integral Calculation Correct or Is There an Error in the Book?

    Hi, my result of \int \int \int_{A} xyz dxdydz where A = \{(x,y,z); x^2+y^2+z^2 \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0, z \geq 0 \} is \frac {8}{48} , but book says \frac{1}{48} . Is the book right? Could you please verify? Thank you Michael

    Bounds for triple integral

    Integrate the function f(x,y,z)=–6x+2y over the solid given by the "slice" of an ice-cream cone in the first octant bounded by the planes x=0 and y=sqrt((277/123))x and contained in a sphere centered at the origin with radius 25 and a cone opening upwards from the origin with top radius 20. I...

    Volume of Solid Inside Cylinder & Sphere

    Find the volume of the solid inside the cylinder x^2+y^2=2x and bounded by the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=4 It appears that cyclindrical is out the question because there is no symmetry about the centre of the cylinder. So only spherical coords are applicable. Any clues?

    How can I write a triple integral using different coordinate systems?

    Hello. This is my first of many posts at this forum. For fun recently I came across a triple integral that i would really like to know how to do. basically i have two equations x^2+y^2+z^2=1 x^2+y^2+(z-1)^2=2 if you plot these you will see that they intercept. i need to find the area...

    Triple integral - solid tetradhedon

    Evaluate the triple integral \int \int \int xy*DV where E is the solid tetrahedon with vertices (0,0,0), (4,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,7) first I'm going to find n: AB= <-4,1,0> AC= <-4,0,7> AB X AC = <7,28,4> = n so i get this equation: 7(x-4) + 28y + 4z = 0 => 7x+28y+4z = 28 so the...

    How Do I Properly Convert a Triple Integral to Cylindrical Coordinates?

    Firstly, can someone please demonstrate the proper Latex code for the terminals on a multiple integral? Thanks! Anyway, as you can probably see, I'm calculating the volume enclosed by x^2+y^2+z^2 = 2 and z = x^2+y^2 using a change to cylindrical coordinates. V =...

    How Do You Simplify the Triple Integral of |xyz| Over an Ellipsoid?

    I'm having trouble with evaluating [Triple Integral] |xyz| dx dy dz over the region (x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 + (z/c)^2 <= 1 Do I need to use some sort of parametrisation for the region, and is there some way of dealing with the absolute value function without integrating over the eight...

    Limit change on triple integral

    ok, so I've got this triple integral: \int_{0}^{2} \int_{0}^{y^3} \int_{0}^{y^2} f(x,y,z) dz\, dx\, dy\ what i want to do is get the other five integrals that are equivalen. I've got correctly 3 of them, but, for the life of me, cannot get dy dz dx and dy dx dz to work out. i've...

    Setting up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates?

    The problem says to find the volume of material cut from the solid sphere, r^2 + z^2 \le 9 by the cylinder, r = 3\sin\theta I don't know how to graph the first equation, but I can do the second in polar coordinates. How do I go about converting to use cylindrical coordinates?

    Triple Integral Help: Solving Equations and Finding Volume with Closed Curve C

    I have a group of problems that deals with the equations: f(x,y)= x^2+y^2 g(x,y)=20-(x-4)^2-(y+2)^2. I know that the surfaces z=f(x,y) and z=g(x,y) intersect in a closed curve, C, and the projection of C onto the xy-plane is a circle. However, I am having trouble finding its...
