Math Problem Statement

Find the volume of the region under the surface z = xy^2 and above the area bounded by x = y^2 and x - 2y = 8

Solution

To find the volume of the region under the surface z=xy2z = xy^2 and above the area bounded by x=y2x = y^2 and x2y=8x - 2y = 8, we can set up a double integral over the region in the xyxy-plane.

Step 1: Set Up the Region of Integration

We need to identify the region RR in the xyxy-plane bounded by the curves x=y2x = y^2 and x2y=8x - 2y = 8.

  1. Rewrite the line equation: Solve for xx in terms of yy in the equation x2y=8x - 2y = 8: x=2y+8x = 2y + 8

  2. Find the intersection points of x=y2x = y^2 and x=2y+8x = 2y + 8: Set y2=2y+8y^2 = 2y + 8 and rearrange to get: y22y8=0y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0 This factors as: (y4)(y+2)=0(y - 4)(y + 2) = 0 So, y=4y = 4 and y=2y = -2.

  3. Determine the corresponding xx-values for these yy-values:

    • For y=4y = 4: x=42=16x = 4^2 = 16
    • For y=2y = -2: x=(2)2=4x = (-2)^2 = 4

Thus, the region RR in the xyxy-plane is bounded by x=y2x = y^2 on the left and x=2y+8x = 2y + 8 on the right, with yy ranging from 2-2 to 44.

Step 2: Set Up the Double Integral

The volume VV is given by: V=RzdA=Rxy2dAV = \iint_R z \, dA = \iint_R xy^2 \, dA In terms of xx and yy, this becomes: V=y=24x=y22y+8xy2dxdyV = \int_{y = -2}^{4} \int_{x = y^2}^{2y + 8} xy^2 \, dx \, dy

Step 3: Integrate with Respect to xx

Integrate xy2xy^2 with respect to xx: y=24x=y22y+8xy2dxdy=y=24[y2x22]x=y2x=2y+8dy\int_{y = -2}^{4} \int_{x = y^2}^{2y + 8} xy^2 \, dx \, dy = \int_{y = -2}^{4} \left[ \frac{y^2 x^2}{2} \right]_{x = y^2}^{x = 2y + 8} \, dy

Substitute the limits for xx: =y=24(y2(2y+8)22y2(y2)22)dy= \int_{y = -2}^{4} \left( \frac{y^2 (2y + 8)^2}{2} - \frac{y^2 (y^2)^2}{2} \right) \, dy Simplify each term inside the integrand separately.

  1. Expand (2y+8)2(2y + 8)^2: (2y+8)2=4y2+32y+64(2y + 8)^2 = 4y^2 + 32y + 64 So, y2(2y+8)22=y2(4y2+32y+64)2=2y4+16y3+32y2\frac{y^2 (2y + 8)^2}{2} = \frac{y^2 (4y^2 + 32y + 64)}{2} = 2y^4 + 16y^3 + 32y^2

  2. Compute y2(y2)22\frac{y^2 (y^2)^2}{2}: y2(y4)2=y62\frac{y^2 (y^4)}{2} = \frac{y^6}{2}

Putting it all together, we get: V=y=24(2y4+16y3+32y2y62)dyV = \int_{y = -2}^{4} \left( 2y^4 + 16y^3 + 32y^2 - \frac{y^6}{2} \right) \, dy

Step 4: Integrate with Respect to yy

Now we integrate term-by-term: V=y=24(2y4+16y3+32y2y62)dyV = \int_{y = -2}^{4} \left( 2y^4 + 16y^3 + 32y^2 - \frac{y^6}{2} \right) \, dy

  1. Integral of 2y42y^4: 2y4dy=2y55\int 2y^4 \, dy = \frac{2y^5}{5}

  2. Integral of 16y316y^3: 16y3dy=4y4\int 16y^3 \, dy = 4y^4

  3. Integral of 32y232y^2: 32y2dy=32y33\int 32y^2 \, dy = \frac{32y^3}{3}

  4. Integral of y62-\frac{y^6}{2}: y62dy=y714\int -\frac{y^6}{2} \, dy = -\frac{y^7}{14}

After evaluating these integrals at y=4y = 4 and y=2y = -2 and combining the results, you will obtain the final volume VV.
