Set up $\iiint_{D} f(x,y,z)dV$. So when we were talking about this in class we drew the graph first and then set up the equation ax+by+cz=d and then d was substituted for 4 because it was the least common multiple of the points. My question is how were the other numbers found in the equation which made it x+4y+2z=4 ?asmith14Thu, 31 Jul 2014 17:38:09 -0500http://calc3.askbot.com/question/216/http://calc3.askbot.com/question/211/partial-derivatives/When showing that $\vec F$ is conservative, we take the partial derivatives, just wondering if that is the same as $\nabla f $? I know from there we find the function $f$ to make them equal? But I thought that the gradient was the partial derivatives?TiffanyThu, 31 Jul 2014 11:05:02 -0500http://calc3.askbot.com/question/211/http://calc3.askbot.com/question/208/final-review/I feel like problem number 2 on the exam review should be easy, and I'm just making it hard for no reason. The problem states "Find the volume in the first octant (x, y, z all positive) and under the graph of the function $f(x,y)=4-(x^2 + y^2).$" With it being in the first octant, $\delta \theta$ should go from 0 to $2\pi$ since we need 1/4 of a circle. And r would go from 0 to 4? This part i'm not exactly sure of, I know that $(x^2 + y^2)$ is a circle, I'm not exactly sure what the 4- goes to, and graphing it on wolfram alpha didn't help much. It looks like it extends it up to 4 in the z direction? So this may be where my original mistake is. So i'm going to work this two ways. The first with $0\leq r \leq 4$ and the second being $ 0\leq r \leq 1$ With my reasoning behind one, because of the $x^2 + y^2$ denoting the unit circle. $$ \int _0 ^{\frac \pi 2} \int _0 ^4 4-r^2 r \delta r \delta \theta $$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 \int _0 ^4 4-r^3 \delta r$$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * 4r- \frac 14 r^4 \bigg |_0 ^4 $$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * 16-64$$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * -48 $$ $$= \frac {-48\pi}2$$ $$ = -24\pi$$ and the second being $$ \int _0 ^{\frac \pi 2} \int _0 ^1 4-r^2 r \delta r \delta \theta $$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 \int _0 ^1 4-r^3 \delta r$$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * 4r- \frac 14 r^4 \bigg |_0 ^1 $$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * 4-\frac 14$$ $$ = \frac \pi 2 * \frac{15}4 $$ $$= \frac {15\pi}8$$ I'm not sure if either of these are right. So if not, if someone could explain the easiest way to think about this?TiffanyWed, 30 Jul 2014 20:48:12 -0500http://calc3.askbot.com/question/208/
