Math Problem Statement

Convert to polar coordinates in the xz-plane for the given integral.

Solution

To convert the given integral to polar coordinates in the xzxz-plane, let's analyze each part of the original Cartesian double integral:

Step 1: Set up polar coordinates

In the xzxz-plane, we can define polar coordinates as: x=rcosθandz=rsinθx = r \cos \theta \quad \text{and} \quad z = r \sin \theta The Jacobian determinant for converting to polar coordinates is rr, meaning dxdzdx \, dz becomes rdrdθr \, dr \, d\theta in the polar coordinates.

Step 2: Determine the limits in polar coordinates

The xx-limits are from 3-3 to 33, and for a given xx, zz ranges from 9x2-\sqrt{9 - x^2} to 9x2\sqrt{9 - x^2}. This describes a circle of radius 3 in the xzxz-plane, which suggests that in polar coordinates: 0r3and0θ2π0 \leq r \leq 3 \quad \text{and} \quad 0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi

Step 3: Convert the integrand

The integrand is: 632x22z2(5x2+5z2)63 - 2x^2 - 2z^2 - (5x^2 + 5z^2) We can simplify this by substituting x=rcosθx = r \cos \theta and z=rsinθz = r \sin \theta to express x2+z2=r2x^2 + z^2 = r^2: 632(r2)5(r2)=637r263 - 2(r^2) - 5(r^2) = 63 - 7r^2

Step 4: Set up the polar integral

Now we can write the integral in polar coordinates: Volume=02π03(637r2)rdrdθ\text{Volume} = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^3 \left(63 - 7r^2\right) r \, dr \, d\theta

Final Polar Form of the Integral

The complete expression in polar coordinates is: Volume=02π03(637r2)rdrdθ\text{Volume} = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^3 \left(63 - 7r^2\right) r \, dr \, d\theta

Would you like a detailed solution for evaluating this integral, or do you have any other questions?


Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How is the Jacobian determinant derived for polar coordinates in the xzxz-plane?
  2. Why does dxdzdx \, dz become rdrdθr \, dr \, d\theta in polar coordinates?
  3. What are the conditions for choosing θ\theta and rr limits in polar coordinates?
  4. How would this conversion differ if the integral were in the xyxy-plane instead?
  5. How would we approach evaluating this polar integral for the volume?

Tip: When converting to polar coordinates, ensure you correctly apply the Jacobian and adjust all limits and expressions in the integrand accordingly.
