Volume of a specific region

52 Views Asked by At

Volume of region bounded by $x^2+y^2 \leq 4$, $x \geq 0$, $0<z<x^2-y^2$

I have used the volume formula but not sure of the limits of integration.If I take the limits like the below, I get the answer zero.

$V = \int \int \int dzdydx$

$V =\int_{0}^{2} \int_{0}^{4-x^2} \int_{0}^{x^2-y^2} dzdydx$

Is the Limit setting correct? Please suggest an easy way to solve this.

After Felix Marin's prompt, I realized there was a mistake in my upper bound of z which led to wrong result. I had written it only in terms of $y$ which is not true. It is a function of both $x$ and $y$. So the best way to proceed is using cylindrical coordinates.

We have been given below bounds for the region -

i) $x^2 + y^2 \le 4$ or $x \le r \cos \theta, y \le r \sin \theta$ where $r = 2$.

ii) $x \ge 0 \,$ i.e $ \,r \cos\theta \ge 0$ or $\cos \theta \ge 0 \implies (-\frac{\pi}{2} \le \theta \le \frac{\pi}{2})$.

iii) $0 \le z \le x^2 - y^2 = r^2(cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta) = r^2 \cos 2\theta $.
As $z \ge 0 \implies$ $\, cos^2\theta \ge sin^2\theta$ or $\, (-\frac{\pi}{4} \le \theta \le \frac{\pi}{4})$ [based on restriction given by (ii)]

Now the integration -

$ \begin{align} V &= \displaystyle\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \int_0^2 \int_{0}^{r^2 \cos2\theta} dz \, r \,dr \,d\theta \\ \\ &= \displaystyle \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \int_0^2 r^3 \, \cos2\theta \, \,dr \,d\theta \\ \\ &= \displaystyle \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} [\frac {r^4}{4}]_0^2 \, \cos2\theta \, \,d\theta \\ \\ &= \displaystyle 4 \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \cos2\theta \, d\theta \\ \\ &= \displaystyle 2 [\sin2\theta]_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} = 4\\ \end{align} $
