Short answer

Question: Calculate the volume of the given shapes S in each case: (a) S is bounded by the surfaces \(z=x^{2}+y^{2}\) and \(z=8-x^{2}-y^{2}\). (b) \(S=\left\{(x, y, z) | 0 \leq z \leq x^{2}+y^{2},(x, y, 0)\right.\) is in the triangle with vertices \((0,1,0),(0,0,0),\) and \((1,0,0)\}\). Answer: (a) The volume of the shape S is \(16\pi\). (b) The volume of the shape S is \(\frac{1}{15}\).

Step-by-step solution

Find the intersection points of surfaces

We need to find the points where these two surfaces intersect. To do this, we set \(z=x^{2}+y^{2}=8-x^{2}-y^{2}\) and solve for x and y. Combining the terms, we get: \(2x^{2} + 2y^{2} = 8 \Rightarrow x^{2} + y^{2} = 4\). This is a circle with radius 2 in the xy-plane (z=0).

Convert to cylindrical coordinates

To simplify the process, we will convert these equations to cylindrical coordinates: \((x, y, z) \to (r, \theta, z)\). The circle equation becomes \(r^{2} = 4\). The surfaces become: \(z = r^{2}\) and \(z = 8 - r^{2}\).

Set up triple integral

Now we will set up a triple integral to find the volume. The limits for r will be from 0 to 2. The limits for θ are from 0 to \(2\pi\). And the limits for z are between the two surfaces: \(r^{2} \le z \le 8 - r^{2}\). The triple integral of the function 1 for the given cylindrical coordinates: \(\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2}\int_{r^2}^{8-r^2} 1 \ r \ dz \ dr \ d\theta\).

Evaluate integration

Now that the triple integral is set up, evaluate each integral starting with the innermost one. 1. Integration with respect to z yields: \(\int_{r^2}^{8-r^2} 1 \ r \ dz \ = r [(8-r^2) - r^2]\). 2. Integration with respect to r: \(\int_{0}^{2} (8r - 2r^3) dr = [4r^2 - \frac{1}{2}r^4]_0^2 = 8\). 3. Integration with respect to \(\theta\): \(\int_{0}^{2\pi} 8 d\theta = 8[2\pi - 0] = 16\pi\). So, the volume of the shape S in case (a) is \(16\pi\). (b) \(S=\left\{(x, y, z) | 0 \leq z \leq x^{2}+y^{2},(x, y, 0)\right.\) is in the triangle with vertices \((0,1,0),(0,0,0),\) and \((1,0,0)\}\). For case (b), since the shape is a simplex it's easier to use Cartesian coordinates.

Set up triple integral

The base region is defined by the triangle, we can describe it using the inequalities: \(0 \le y \le 1 - x\) and \(0 \le x \le 1\). The height of the particular shape is given by the second constraint: \(0 \le z \le x^2 + y^2\). The triple integral of the function 1 for the given Cartesian coordinates is: \(\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1-x}\int_{0}^{x^2+y^2} 1 \ dz \ dy \ dx\).

Evaluate integration

Now that the triple integral is set up, evaluate each integral starting with the inner most one. 1. Integration with respect to z yields: \(\int_{0}^{x^2+y^2} 1 dz = x^2 + y^2\). 2. Integration with respect to y: \(\int_{0}^{1-x} (x^2 + y^2) dy = [x^2y + \frac{1}{3}y^3]_0^{1-x} = x^2(1-x) + \frac{1}{3}(1-x)^3\). 3. Integration with respect to x: \(\int_{0}^{1} ( x^2(1-x) + \frac{1}{3}(1-x)^3 ) dx = \frac{1}{15}\). So, the volume of the shape S in case (b) is \(\frac{1}{15}\). I will continue to solve the part (c) and (d) in another answer as it exceeds the limit of the content.

Key concepts

Cylindrical Coordinates

Cylindrical coordinates offer a way to simplify problems by transforming three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) into a system based around radius, angle, and height: (r, \(\theta\), z). This system is useful for problems with rotational symmetry, like those involving cylinders or cones.

• **r**: represents the radius, or the distance from the z-axis in the xy-plane. It's calculated by \(r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\).
• **\(\theta\)**: is the angle measured from the positive x-axis in the xy-plane. It's determined by \(\theta = \tan^{-1}(y/x)\).
• **z**: remains the same as in Cartesian coordinates, indicating vertical position.

In the given problem of finding a volume between two paraboloids,converting to cylindrical coordinates simplifies the integral computation greatly.
The volume bounded between two surfaces becomes a more manageable problem when the circular symmetry of the base is considered in cylindrical form.
By expressing the boundary surfaces in terms of r, the integration becomes limited between a simpler range of r and z, with the circle equivalent expressed at \(r^2 = 4\),indicating a radius of 2.

Cartesian Coordinates

Cartesian coordinates, defined by (x, y, z), are most intuitive for solving problems involving straight-line distances. They are especially useful when the region of interest can easily be divided by perpendicular planes.
In the exercise involving a triangular base (part b of the provided example),the use of Cartesian coordinates makes the setup straightforward.

• **x**: horizontal axis value.
• **y**: vertical axis value within the plane.
• **z**: represents the height from the base plane defined by (x, y).

When working with the triangle defined by vertices like \((0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0)\),Cartesian coordinates help clearly describe the planar restrictions and heights.
The triple integral can easily incorporate upper and lower bounds of z and the triangle's equations.
This method allows for effective calculation of volumes over simple bounds without the need for transformation into other coordinate systems.

Volume Calculation

Volume calculation using triple integrals is a process of systematically integrating over three-dimensional space to determine the bounds of a solid. Based on the provided exercise, two different scenarios required precise setup of integrals based on bounded regions.
### Steps for Volume Calculation 1. **Identify the volume's boundaries**: Determine the region in space where the volume lies using geometric or boundary surfaces. 2. **Choose an appropriate coordinate system**: Match the coordinate system to the symmetry or boundaries of the volume (e.g., cylindrical for rotational symmetry). 3. **Set up the triple integral**: Define the limits of integration for each coordinate, which energizes the problem's description of the solid.
4. **Evaluate from the innermost integral outward**: This approach helps manage more complex expressions by simplifying them part by part.
For instance, in part (a), the calculated volume between bowl-shaped surfaces used cylindrical coordinates where computation focused on radial bounds and then angular integration. Conversely, in scenarios like part (b) that featured a triangle, Cartesian coordinates simplified implementation based on straightforward boundaries and planar integrations.
