JOEL LEWIS: Hi.

00:00:08.150 --> 00:00:09.690
Welcome back to recitation.

00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:11.600
In lecture, you've been
learning about triple

00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:12.520
integration.

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:15.540
And I have a problem here for
you on computing a volume of a

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.830
region using a triple
integral.

00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:19.710
So let's look at this.

00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:23.570
So I have a volume and I'm
describing it to you; it's the

00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:28.650
volume inside the paraboloid
z equals x squared plus y

00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:33.530
squared and bounded by the
plane z equals 2y.

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:35.310
So I've drawn a little
picture here for you.

00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:38.770
So this is the paraboloid
here.

00:00:38.770 --> 00:00:41.440
And we're just taking
a plane cut of it.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:44.800
And so this is going to slice
off some chunk of that

00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:48.280
paraboloid, and what I want to
know is what the volume is of

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.920
that piece that gets cut off
by that plane there.

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.730
So below the plane and
above the paraboloid.

00:00:54.730 --> 00:00:58.030
So, why don't you pause the
video, take some time, work

00:00:58.030 --> 00:00:59.590
out this problem, come
back, and we

00:00:59.590 --> 00:01:00.840
can work on it together.

00:01:08.742 --> 00:01:10.940
I hope you had some luck
with this problem.

00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:13.350
I think it's a bit of a tricky
one, so let's start to work

00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:15.140
through it together.

00:01:15.140 --> 00:01:18.440
So sometimes you have a problem

00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:20.050
with a triple integral.

00:01:20.050 --> 00:01:23.480
And you need to set up your
bounds of integration.

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.400
And sometimes you can look
at it and it's just

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.510
clear what they are.

00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:30.560
If you're integrating over a
cube, life is really easy.

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.600
But in this case, this region
that we want to integrate over

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.690
is kind of more complicated
to understand.

00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:37.140
Right?

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:41.070
So it's easy to see-- well,
relatively easy to see-- what

00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:43.260
the bounds on z are.

00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:48.500
So let me draw a couple of
two-dimensional pictures.

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:54.450
So I'm going to draw the
yz-plane cross section here.

00:01:54.450 --> 00:01:59.680
So in the yz-plane cross
section, this paraboloid just

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.680
becomes a parabola.

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.920
So that becomes the parabola z
equals y squared, which is a

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.985
plane section of the paraboloid
z equals x squared

00:02:09.985 --> 00:02:11.710
plus y squared.

00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:21.250
And this plane z equals 2y
becomes the line z equals 2y.

00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:23.580
And this little sliver
is a plane section of

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:25.940
the region in question.

00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:29.970
So we see that z is going from
the paraboloid to the plane.

00:02:29.970 --> 00:02:32.500
And over here, we see that z is
going from the paraboloid

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:33.250
to the plane.

00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:36.430
But what we really need to
understand then is what the

00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:39.020
relationship between
x and y is.

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:41.490
So what is the shadow
of this region?

00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:43.250
How are x and y related
to each other?

00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:46.250
How can we bound x in terms
of y or y in terms of x?

00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:49.790
Or should we use cylindrical
coordinates or what?

00:02:49.790 --> 00:02:51.790
And so in order to that what
we need to do is we need to

00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:52.760
figure out--

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:55.780
when you project this region
down, when you flatten it

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:58.440
along z, so you're disregarding
z now, and then

00:02:58.440 --> 00:02:59.950
you're just looking
at its shadow, its

00:02:59.950 --> 00:03:03.400
footprint, in the xy plane--

00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.540
you want to figure out,
what is that region?

00:03:05.540 --> 00:03:06.340
What does it look like?

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:11.460
So somehow we'll project down
and there will be some region

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:14.900
R down here.

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:22.160
So I'll call this region R. And
that region will be the

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:26.020
projection of this solid
region down.

00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:28.740
And it has some boundary
curve--

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:34.080
C, say-- the boundary curve of
the region R. Just in case we

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.570
need to refer to them later,
it's good to give them letters

00:03:36.570 --> 00:03:38.410
so that they have names.

00:03:38.410 --> 00:03:41.860
So what we need to figure out
now is what is this region R?

00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:47.430
Now this is tough to do by just
intuitive reasoning or

00:03:47.430 --> 00:03:49.500
just by looking at this
picture I've drawn.

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.860
So in this case, we're kind of
forced to use some algebra.

00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:53.360
All right.

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.390
So what do we know about this
region R and this curve C?

00:03:57.390 --> 00:04:04.390
Well, C is the projection
downwards of the curve of

00:04:04.390 --> 00:04:08.830
intersection of this plane with
this paraboloid, right?

00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:12.140
So it's the projection down at
this curve intersection.

00:04:12.140 --> 00:04:14.300
So what does that mean
about its equation?

00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:19.380
Well, it means it's what we get
if we solve for z in one

00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:21.770
of the two equations
of the surfaces and

00:04:21.770 --> 00:04:22.960
plug it into the other.

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:25.490
And that will give us an
equation with just x and y,

00:04:25.490 --> 00:04:29.620
and that will be the equation
of this curve C. OK.

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:39.140
So in our case, that means
that C is given by this

00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:44.356
equation x squared plus
y squared equals 2y.

00:04:44.356 --> 00:04:44.920
All right.

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.940
So whenever x squared plus y
squared equals 2y, that's a

00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:53.520
point x, y such that directly
above that point is a place

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:57.020
where the plane intersects
the paraboloid.

00:04:57.020 --> 00:04:57.610
Well, OK.

00:04:57.610 --> 00:04:59.180
So what is this curve?

00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:01.910
Well, a little bit of algebra
can help us sort that out.

00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:05.380
If you bring the 2y over here
and complete the square, you

00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:09.340
can see that we can rewrite
this as x squared plus (y

00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:12.530
minus 1) squared equals 1.

00:05:12.530 --> 00:05:16.340
I brought the 2y over, I've
added 1 to both sides, and

00:05:16.340 --> 00:05:19.920
I've factored the y part.

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.065
And so this is an easy equation
to recognize.

00:05:23.065 --> 00:05:26.180
This is the equation of a
circle with center (0,

00:05:26.180 --> 00:05:27.490
1) and radius 1.

00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:29.200
So let's draw that.

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:33.010
And so here is a picture of what
the shadow looks like in

00:05:33.010 --> 00:05:35.790
the xy plane.

00:05:35.790 --> 00:05:42.470
So the center is at height 1,
and then it's this circle.

00:05:42.470 --> 00:05:43.315
That's almost a circle.

00:05:43.315 --> 00:05:45.550
It looks enough like a circle
for my purposes.

00:05:45.550 --> 00:05:50.840
So this is the region R. It's a
circular region of radius 1

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:53.090
with center (0, 1).

00:05:53.090 --> 00:05:54.090
OK, great.

00:05:54.090 --> 00:05:56.985
So I'm just going to shade that
in again because I like

00:05:56.985 --> 00:05:58.350
doing that.

00:05:58.350 --> 00:05:59.100
OK.

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:01.470
So that's the region R.

00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:02.720
So what is this region R?

00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:05.990
Let's look back over here.

00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:09.860
It's the shadow of our solid
region in the xy plane.

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:11.690
So when you project
down, that's the

00:06:11.690 --> 00:06:12.430
region that you get.

00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:15.350
So why do we need that?

00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:18.190
So we know when we set up this
triple integral, z is going to

00:06:18.190 --> 00:06:20.605
be going from the paraboloid
up to the plane.

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:25.760
That's going to be the innermost
integral, but then

00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:29.340
the middle integral is going to
be y in terms of x or x in

00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:30.050
terms of y.

00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:33.550
Or if we do polar coordinates
or cylindrical coordinates,

00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:35.490
it's going to be R in
terms of theta.

00:06:35.490 --> 00:06:39.890
So we need to figure out what
the boundary is, what that

00:06:39.890 --> 00:06:43.680
region looks like over which
we'll be integrating for the

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.750
outer two integrals.

00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:49.080
OK, so now I've been saying we
could use cylindrical or we

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:50.010
could use rectangular.

00:06:50.010 --> 00:06:51.020
What do we want to use?

00:06:51.020 --> 00:06:53.640
Well, so this is a circle.

00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:56.860
It's not centered at the origin,
but it is tangent to

00:06:56.860 --> 00:07:00.310
one of the axes at the origin.

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:04.770
So this is a reasonably nice
situation to do polar

00:07:04.770 --> 00:07:10.210
coordinates in, or cylindrical
coordinates.

00:07:10.210 --> 00:07:12.650
You have to remember from when
you learned cylindrical and

00:07:12.650 --> 00:07:16.190
polar coordinates what the
equation of such a circle is.

00:07:16.190 --> 00:07:18.930
And so I'm going to write it
down here, and I'm going to

00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:22.290
invite you to go look
up why this is true

00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:25.520
if you don't remember.

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:29.330
This curve has an equation
in polar--

00:07:29.330 --> 00:07:31.710
these are the x- and
y-axes here--

00:07:31.710 --> 00:07:37.890
so this curve has in polar
coordinates the equation r

00:07:37.890 --> 00:07:42.100
equals 2 sine theta.

00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:42.370
All right.

00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:45.190
So that gives me this
curve here.

00:07:45.190 --> 00:07:47.300
The outer boundary.

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:50.050
And now what I want is, I don't
just want the curve.

00:07:50.050 --> 00:07:53.510
I want to integrate over the
whole region, and I want to

00:07:53.510 --> 00:07:54.620
integrate over it once.

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:56.640
Remember, polar coordinates are
a little tricky because

00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:59.970
you have to worry about are
you overlapping and so on.

00:07:59.970 --> 00:08:01.340
So how does this work?

00:08:01.340 --> 00:08:05.170
At theta equals 0, or at the
origin, and then as theta

00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:08.820
grows, we get further
and further away.

00:08:08.820 --> 00:08:13.780
So this is our radius
growing out.

00:08:13.780 --> 00:08:15.900
And then at pi over 2,
we're at the top

00:08:15.900 --> 00:08:16.560
point of the circle.

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.970
And then as it comes back into
pi, it comes back in.

00:08:18.970 --> 00:08:23.730
So we want theta going from 0
less than or equal to theta

00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:25.770
less than or equal to pi here.

00:08:25.770 --> 00:08:28.490
So at pi over 2 at the top, and
at pi it comes back for

00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:29.360
the first time.

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.810
And what about r?

00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:33.380
Well, it looks like r has
to go all the way

00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:34.450
out to 2 sine theta.

00:08:34.450 --> 00:08:36.840
And in fact, we always want
it to start at the origin.

00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:41.810
So we always want r
to go from 0 to--

00:08:41.810 --> 00:08:42.690
this outer boundary--

00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:45.150
2 sine theta.

00:08:45.150 --> 00:08:50.470
So this describes this region
big R that we're trying to

00:08:50.470 --> 00:08:50.960
integrate over.

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.210
This circular region in
polar coordinates.

00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:55.860
So OK.

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.810
So it's a fairly easy
description of polar

00:08:57.810 --> 00:08:58.380
coordinates.

00:08:58.380 --> 00:09:00.700
You could also describe it in
rectangular coordinates, and

00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:03.770
you could try to solve
the problem that way.

00:09:03.770 --> 00:09:06.440
I'm not going to do it for you,
but you could give it a

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.810
shot and see if you can come
out with the same answer in

00:09:08.810 --> 00:09:12.050
the end that we do.

00:09:12.050 --> 00:09:13.300
So OK.

00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:14.710
So now, what have we done?

00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:17.700
Well, I haven't written our
bounds, so let me write our

00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:19.260
bounds on z right here.

00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:22.580
So we know that z is going
from the paraboloid.

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.920
If we look at the paraboloid
z equals x

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:29.470
squared plus y squared--

00:09:29.470 --> 00:09:32.080
but we're working in cylindrical
coordinates now,

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.970
so we need to write this in
terms of r and theta--

00:09:34.970 --> 00:09:40.610
so that's z is going from r
squared, and it's going up to

00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:42.920
the plane z equals 2y--

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:46.690
now y in cylindrical coordinates
is r sine theta.

00:09:46.690 --> 00:09:51.160
So z is going from r squared
to 2r sine theta.

00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:52.970
So let's go write that
down over here.

00:09:52.970 --> 00:09:56.650
So z is going from--

00:09:56.650 --> 00:09:58.150
just ignore that--

00:09:58.150 --> 00:10:03.350
from r squared less than or
equal to z, and it's going all

00:10:03.350 --> 00:10:07.560
the way up to 2r sine theta.

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:12.170
So these three equations
describe our region.

00:10:12.170 --> 00:10:13.150
Yeah?

00:10:13.150 --> 00:10:15.850
0 less than theta less than
pi: that just says theta.

00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:16.120
OK?

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.400
Then when theta is going
from 0 to pi--

00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:22.600
r going from 0 to 2 sine theta--
that says in the xy

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.410
plane we're tracing out
this circular shadow.

00:10:25.410 --> 00:10:28.960
And then as z goes from r
squared to 2r sine theta, that

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.380
says above this shadow we're
above the paraboloid

00:10:32.380 --> 00:10:33.660
and below the plane.

00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:36.670
So that's exactly the
region that we want.

00:10:36.670 --> 00:10:37.130
So OK.

00:10:37.130 --> 00:10:40.080
So now how do we get it
to volume after we

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.840
figured this out?

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.580
Well, we write down the
triple integral.

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:50.140
So V, the volume of a region
D, is equal to the triple

00:10:50.140 --> 00:10:56.400
integral over that
solid of dV. OK?

00:10:56.400 --> 00:11:00.450
And in our case, in cylindrical
coordinates, dV is

00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:08.740
going to be dz times r dr d
theta, or r dz dr d theta.

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:09.040
OK?

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:21.030
So this is equal to, if we're
integrating, r dz dr d theta.

00:11:21.030 --> 00:11:23.840
And now we need to put
in our bounds.

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.340
If we look over on this side
of me, here they are.

00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:28.640
And these are our bounds that
we're going to be using.

00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:33.400
So theta is going
from 0 to pi.

00:11:33.400 --> 00:11:40.650
And r is going from
0 to 2 sine theta.

00:11:40.650 --> 00:11:48.200
And z is going from r squared
to 2r sine theta.

00:11:50.780 --> 00:11:53.680
So this triple integral
gives us precisely the

00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:55.720
volume of our region.

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.380
And in order to figure out what
that volume is, we just

00:11:58.380 --> 00:12:00.260
have to evaluate
this integral.

00:12:00.260 --> 00:12:01.960
So let's start doing that.

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.960
I don't think I'm going to go
quite all the way, but I'll do

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.680
most of the work.

00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:08.260
So OK.

00:12:08.260 --> 00:12:10.480
So let's do the innermost
integral first. Whenever you

00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.120
have a triple integral
like this-- a

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.290
nice iterated integral--

00:12:13.290 --> 00:12:15.670
you always start at the inside
and work your way out.

00:12:15.670 --> 00:12:19.010
Well here, our integrand is r,
and we're integrating with

00:12:19.010 --> 00:12:21.850
respect to z-- and r doesn't
have any z's in it--

00:12:21.850 --> 00:12:24.690
so this inner integral
is going to be easy.

00:12:24.690 --> 00:12:28.340
So I'm going to rewrite
this as equal to--

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:31.696
we keep our outer two bounds--
so it's still from 0 to pi,

00:12:31.696 --> 00:12:42.980
and it's still from 0 to 2 sine
theta, of 2r squared sine

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:48.460
theta minus r cubed
dr d theta.

00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:51.760
So what I've done here is
I've just integrated.

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:56.580
I get the anti-derivative
of r dz is rz.

00:12:56.580 --> 00:12:57.890
And so then I take
the difference

00:12:57.890 --> 00:12:58.840
between those two bounds.

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.130
So I get r times 2r sine theta
minus r times r squared.

00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:07.190
So r times 2r sine theta is
2r squared sine theta.

00:13:07.190 --> 00:13:09.080
Minus r times r squared
is minus r cubed.

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.760
OK, so I've just done
the first integral.

00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:13.770
So now integrating with
respect to r.

00:13:13.770 --> 00:13:16.490
OK, this second one isn't
so bad either.

00:13:16.490 --> 00:13:19.240
As far as r is concerned, this
is just a polynomial.

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.440
Theta is constant with respect
to r when we're doing an

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:23.320
integral like this.

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:23.980
So OK.

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:26.140
So the second integral is
not too bad either.

00:13:26.140 --> 00:13:28.620
So this is the integral
for our outer

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:30.450
integral from 0 to pi.

00:13:30.450 --> 00:13:31.210
Sticks around--

00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:35.350
lets not do this one in one
fell swoop I think--

00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:42.900
so it's going to become 2r
cubed over 3, sine theta,

00:13:42.900 --> 00:13:46.360
minus r to the fourth over 4.

00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:51.450
And we're taking that between
r equals 0 and r

00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:55.420
equals 2 sine theta.

00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:56.730
And then that whole thing
is going to be

00:13:56.730 --> 00:13:59.300
integrated d theta.

00:13:59.300 --> 00:14:01.160
So what do we get when
we plug this in?

00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:04.770
Well, at r equals zero, this
is just 0, so that's easy.

00:14:04.770 --> 00:14:08.090
And so we need the top one,
r equals 2 sine theta.

00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:11.950
So this is going to give me
something like 16/3 sine to

00:14:11.950 --> 00:14:16.100
the fourth theta minus 4 sine
to the fourth theta, so I

00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:27.950
think that works out to be 4/3
sine to the fourth theta d

00:14:27.950 --> 00:14:30.250
theta, between 0 and pi.

00:14:30.250 --> 00:14:33.950
So now you have to remember how
to do integrals like this.

00:14:33.950 --> 00:14:38.190
So this is something you
probably learned back in the

00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:44.170
trig integral section of your
Calculus I or 18.01 class.

00:14:44.170 --> 00:14:46.540
So when it's an even power here,
I think the thing that

00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:50.110
we do is we use our half-angle
formulas.

00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:55.040
So now I'm going to tell you
what your final steps are.

00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:58.310
So first, you're going to use
your half-angle formula.

00:14:58.310 --> 00:15:00.060
So what is that half-angle
formula?

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:08.120
So it's sine squared theta is
equal to 1 minus cosine 2

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.410
theta over 2.

00:15:11.410 --> 00:15:13.600
So you're going to have to
plug this in here, right?

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.900
Sine to the fourth is sine
squared quantity squared.

00:15:16.900 --> 00:15:20.190
And then you're going to have
a cosine squared 2 theta, so

00:15:20.190 --> 00:15:22.860
you're going to have to use
the double-angle formula.

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:24.820
This time you're going to have
to use the double-angle

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:27.640
formula for cosine, which is
very similar, although not

00:15:27.640 --> 00:15:28.440
exactly the same.

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.570
So you're going to have
to use those two

00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:31.920
double-angle formulas.

00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:33.210
After that, you'll have
something that is

00:15:33.210 --> 00:15:35.980
straightforward to integrate.

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:37.290
So you'll have something that's

00:15:37.290 --> 00:15:38.090
straightforward to integrate.

00:15:38.090 --> 00:15:43.090
You'll integrate it, and if I'm
not mistaken, what you get

00:15:43.090 --> 00:15:48.400
at the end is that you just get
a fairly nice and simple

00:15:48.400 --> 00:15:51.040
pi over 2 as your answer.

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:54.300
So you can check your work
there, and make sure that

00:15:54.300 --> 00:15:56.210
you've got out pi over
2 at the end.

00:15:56.210 --> 00:15:59.970
And hopefully, if you tried to
do this using rectangular

00:15:59.970 --> 00:16:02.270
coordinates, you also came
out with something

00:16:02.270 --> 00:16:03.040
like this as well.

00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:05.530
In that case, you would have to
do a trig substitution at

00:16:05.530 --> 00:16:08.630
some point to evaluate your
intervals, or you might have

00:16:08.630 --> 00:16:10.330
an arcsine involved.

00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:13.230
Something like that
will happen.

00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:15.380
But it should also give you
pi over 2, of course.

00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:17.900
Because it's the same region,
just described

00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:18.970
in a different way.

00:16:18.970 --> 00:16:21.930
So let me quickly recap
what we did.

00:16:21.930 --> 00:16:24.610
Way back over here, we had this

00:16:24.610 --> 00:16:27.200
description of this region.

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.310
So it was the region above our
paraboloid and below a plane.

00:16:32.310 --> 00:16:35.910
And so when we're setting this
up, we have to figure out in

00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:38.520
order to do a triple integral
over this region in order to

00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:43.440
find its volume, we have to pick
an order of integration,

00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.900
and then we have to know what
the bounds are for the inside

00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:50.170
in terms of the outer two
variables, for the middle one

00:16:50.170 --> 00:16:52.370
in terms of the outermost
one, and so on.

00:16:52.370 --> 00:17:00.310
So in this case, that means it
was a natural choice to make z

00:17:00.310 --> 00:17:02.800
the first variable-- the
innermost variable.

00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:05.310
And so then after that, we
needed to project to find the

00:17:05.310 --> 00:17:09.580
relationship in the xy plane
between the other variables.

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:17.230
Now in this case, we did that by
solving this little algebra

00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:17.780
problem here.

00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:23.280
We solved for z in the two
surfaces that we were given,

00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:24.650
and we set them equal
to each other.

00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:27.080
And so this gives us a
description for the boundary

00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:28.310
curve for our region.

00:17:28.310 --> 00:17:32.690
And because it's a nice circle,
this suggested that

00:17:32.690 --> 00:17:34.630
one possibility was cylindrical
coordinates.

00:17:34.630 --> 00:17:38.210
So we went ahead, and we found
in cylindrical coordinates the

00:17:38.210 --> 00:17:39.840
description of this shadow.

00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:44.090
And then we used the knowledge
we previously had to describe

00:17:44.090 --> 00:17:46.140
the whole region in cylindrical
coordinates.

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:48.550
So we had this description
of our entire region.

00:17:48.550 --> 00:17:51.030
And then to compute its volume,
we just set up the

00:17:51.030 --> 00:17:55.330
triple integral volume is equal
to a triple integral dV.

00:17:55.330 --> 00:17:56.310
In our case, dV--

00:17:56.310 --> 00:17:57.720
since we're in cylindrical
coordinates--

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.890
that's r dz dr d theta.

00:17:59.890 --> 00:18:04.240
We put in our bounds, and then
we evaluated the integral.

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.960
I'll stop there.
