What is the double integral setup for calculating the volume between the paraboloid z=x2+y2z = x^2 + y^2 and the plane z=x+yz = x + y over the projected region D?

The volume VV is set up as the double integral of the difference between the upper surface (plane) and the lower surface (paraboloid) over the domain DD. The formula is V=∬D(x+y−x2−y2)dxdyV = \iint_D (x+y - x^2-y^2) dx dy.

Conditions

  • DD is the circular region defined by (x−1/2)2+(y−1/2)2≤1/2(x-1/2)^2+(y-1/2)^2 \le 1/2
  • Plane z=x+yz=x+y is above Paraboloid z=x2+y2z=x^2+y^2 in DD

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Identify the top function: ftop=x+yf_{top} = x+y.
  2. Identify the bottom function: fbottom=x2+y2f_{bottom} = x^2+y^2.
  3. Construct the integrand: ftop−fbottom=x+y−x2−y2f_{top} - f_{bottom} = x+y - x^2-y^2.
  4. Define the integration limits based on the projection region DD.
  5. Write the final double integral expression.

Example

The script states: 'The volume is expressed as the double integral V=∬D(x+y−x2−y2)dxdyV = \iint _D (x+y - x^2-y^2) dx dy.'

Common misconceptions

  • Integrating the sum instead of the difference of heights.
  • Reversing the order of subtraction if the plane were below the paraboloid (though here it is above).
