What is the final value of the triple integral of (x2+y2)(x^2+y^2) over the specified solid region?

The final value of the triple integral is 32π3\frac{32\pi}{3}. This is obtained by evaluating the outer integral of π2z2\frac{\pi}{2}z^2 from z=0z=0 to z=4z=4.

Conditions

  • The solid region is bounded by z=x2+y2z=x^2+y^2 and z=4z=4.
  • The integrand is x2+y2x^2+y^2.
  • The calculation follows the slicing method with polar coordinates for the inner integral.

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Evaluate the inner double integral over the disk D(z)D(z) to get π2z2\frac{\pi}{2}z^2.
  2. Set up the outer integral: ∫04π2z2 dz\int_0^4 \frac{\pi}{2}z^2 \, dz.
  3. Compute the antiderivative: π2⋅z33=π6z3\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac{z^3}{3} = \frac{\pi}{6}z^3.
  4. Apply the limits from 00 to 44: π6(43−03)=π6(64)\frac{\pi}{6}(4^3 - 0^3) = \frac{\pi}{6}(64).
  5. Simplify the result: 64π6=32π3\frac{64\pi}{6} = \frac{32\pi}{3}.

Example

The script states: 'Evaluating this gives 14z2\frac{1}{4}z^2, which leads to the final answer of 32π3\frac{32\pi}{3} after integrating along zz.' (Note: The script mentions 14z2\frac{1}{4}z^2 likely referring to the radial part before multiplying by 2π2\pi, or a slight transcription ambiguity, but the final answer 32π3\frac{32\pi}{3} is explicit).

Common misconceptions

  • Arithmetic errors in cubing 4 or simplifying the fraction.
  • Forgetting to multiply by 2π2\pi from the angular integration.
  • Confusing the intermediate result π2z2\frac{\pi}{2}z^2 with the final answer.
