Homework Statement
find volume of the solid bounded by the surfaces
z = 1- [itex]\sqrt{\frac{x}{4}^2 + \frac{y}{2 sqrt{2}}^2}[/itex]
and x^2/4 -x +(Y^2)/2 = 0
and the planes z = 0 and z = 1
Homework Equations
z = 1- [itex]\sqrt{\frac{x}{4}^2 + \frac{y}{2 sqrt{2}}^2}[/itex]
and x^2/4 -x +(Y^2)/2 = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
I think the first surface is an ellipsoid with it's highest point at z =1 and x = 0 and y = 0 and the second "surface" I have interpreted as a cylinder whose base is an ellipse centred at x = 2 and y =0. So it seems like there could be two solids here, the first would have an elliptical base of the z = 0 plane and the top would be the surface of the first equation above and the sides would be the sides of the cylinder. But it seems like I could also have another similar solid where the top is the z =1 plane and the base is the surface of the first equation.
I think I must be a long way off track.
