13.7#9

I can't quite understand how to do this problem. I've tried  |(7,0) | (7,0) | (8-z^2,0) z dy dz dx


















*****************************

First of all, that double integral means you need to do a double integral, but you're doing a triple integral.  That's your first clue.  The fact that you have a double integral but the three variable function f(x,y,z) contributes to the misunderstanding but, second, that little "S" down under the double integral means that you are integrating over a surface just like we've been discussing the last two lectures. So now your job becomes figuring out the parameterization of the surface.   The fact that x and z have the constraints 0≤x≤7, and 0≤z≤7 suggests that they should be equal parameters call them t,s, i.e. x=t and z=s.  Then, since  y=8-z^2 constrains y, you get the parameterization r(t,s) = < t, 8-s^2, s> .  Now have at it.

An extra credit project

1.  Three pages single spaced text.
2.  An #EXTRA# page with citations.
3.  Subject: "How Vector Calculus is Used in My Major."
4. At least four inline citations, not wikipedia, not random website you found on the web. Textbooks and professional periodicals are OK.
5. NO PLAGIARISM, aka no copy-paste from random online publications.   (BTW, did you know that just 7 words in sequence provide unique identifiability for more than 90% of publications?)
6. Make a reasonable effort. If you're sloppy I'll cut down your credit.
7. Worth 10 points.
8. Due the day after the final exam: 1 electronic copy in PDF format to my email,  one printed copy to my mailbox in the math department (i.e. dropped off at the main math window in Wexler 216 before it closes.

Webwork answers

Can you open the answers Webwork 13.2 - 13.4? I want to study those sections for the exam and it opens at midnight.
