Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral by changing to spherical coordinates: ∫∫∫ xy dz dy dx over the region √(16−x²) to √(32−x²−y²) and √(x²+y²) with bounds provided.

Solution

To solve the given integral by changing to spherical coordinates, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Understand the Region: The integral bounds suggest a volume in 3D space. The integration limits indicate that this is a part of a sphere or semi-sphere.

  2. Spherical Coordinates Conversion:

    • Spherical coordinates are given by: x=ρsinϕcosθ,y=ρsinϕsinθ,z=ρcosϕx = \rho \sin\phi \cos\theta, \quad y = \rho \sin\phi \sin\theta, \quad z = \rho \cos\phi and the Jacobian determinant for spherical coordinates is: dV=ρ2sinϕdρdϕdθ.dV = \rho^2 \sin\phi \, d\rho \, d\phi \, d\theta.
  3. Integral Expression in Spherical Coordinates: The integrand xyxy transforms as: xy=(ρsinϕcosθ)(ρsinϕsinθ)=ρ2sin2ϕcosθsinθ.xy = (\rho \sin\phi \cos\theta)(\rho \sin\phi \sin\theta) = \rho^2 \sin^2\phi \cos\theta \sin\theta.

  4. Bounds in Spherical Coordinates:

    • ρ\rho: Radial distance. The limits for ρ\rho will go from 0 to the radius of the sphere.
    • ϕ\phi: Polar angle (measured from the positive zz-axis). For a hemisphere (upper region), ϕ\phi goes from 00 to π/2\pi/2.
    • θ\theta: Azimuthal angle (measured in the xyxy-plane). This ranges from 00 to 2π2\pi.

    Since the x2+y2+z2=ρ2x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = \rho^2, we infer the sphere's radius R=4R = 4.

  5. Set up the Integral: Transform the integral: 02π0π/204ρ2sin2ϕcosθsinθρ2sinϕdρdϕdθ.\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi/2} \int_0^4 \rho^2 \sin^2\phi \cos\theta \sin\theta \rho^2 \sin\phi \, d\rho \, d\phi \, d\theta.

    Simplify: 02π0π/204ρ4sin3ϕcosθsinθdρdϕdθ.\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi/2} \int_0^4 \rho^4 \sin^3\phi \cos\theta \sin\theta \, d\rho \, d\phi \, d\theta.

  6. Separate the Integral: The integral splits into three parts: 04ρ4dρ,0π/2sin3ϕdϕ,02πcosθsinθdθ.\int_0^4 \rho^4 \, d\rho, \quad \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^3\phi \, d\phi, \quad \int_0^{2\pi} \cos\theta \sin\theta \, d\theta.

  7. Evaluate Each Part:

    • 04ρ4dρ=[ρ55]04=455=10245\int_0^4 \rho^4 \, d\rho = \left[\frac{\rho^5}{5}\right]_0^4 = \frac{4^5}{5} = \frac{1024}{5}.
    • 0π/2sin3ϕdϕ=0π/2sinϕ(1cos2ϕ)dϕ=[cosϕ+cos3ϕ3]0π/2=10=1\int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^3\phi \, d\phi = \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin\phi (1 - \cos^2\phi) \, d\phi = \left[-\cos\phi + \frac{\cos^3\phi}{3}\right]_0^{\pi/2} = 1 - 0 = 1.
    • 02πcosθsinθdθ=02π12sin(2θ)dθ=0\int_0^{2\pi} \cos\theta \sin\theta \, d\theta = \int_0^{2\pi} \frac{1}{2} \sin(2\theta) \, d\theta = 0, because sin(2θ)\sin(2\theta) is periodic over [0,2π][0, 2\pi].
  8. Final Result: Since one of the parts evaluates to 0, the entire integral is: 0.0.
