Hi,
What would be the limits used in a triple integral that is bounded by the function 4x^2 + y^2 +z = 128, x=0, x=4, y=0,y=4?
Limits for x and y would be 0 to 4. Would the limits for z be 48 to (128-4x^2-y^2) or maybe 48 to 128?
Please let me know what limits to use, and the method of going about it.
Thank you for the help.
The way you state the problem, there are two regions that are bound by those surfaces, one above and one below the parabolic cylinder 4x^2 + y^2 +z = 128, as you can see from the picture:
ContourPlot3D[{4 x^2 + y^2 + z == 128, x == 0, x == 4, y == 0, y == 4},
{x, -1, 5}, {y, -1, 5}, {z, 50, 150},
ContourStyle -> Opacity[0.8], AxesLabel -> Automatic]
Perhaps like this?
Integrate[x y z, {y, 0, 4}, {x, 0, 4}, {z, 0, 128 - y^2 - 4 x^2}]
