To find the volume of the region under the surface z=xy2 and above the area bounded by x=y2 and x−2y=8, we can set up a double integral over the region in the xy-plane.
Step 1: Set Up the Region of Integration
We need to identify the region R in the xy-plane bounded by the curves x=y2 and x−2y=8.
-
Rewrite the line equation: Solve for x in terms of y in the equation x−2y=8:
x=2y+8
-
Find the intersection points of x=y2 and x=2y+8:
Set y2=2y+8 and rearrange to get:
y2−2y−8=0
This factors as:
(y−4)(y+2)=0
So, y=4 and y=−2.
-
Determine the corresponding x-values for these y-values:
- For y=4: x=42=16
- For y=−2: x=(−2)2=4
Thus, the region R in the xy-plane is bounded by x=y2 on the left and x=2y+8 on the right, with y ranging from −2 to 4.
Step 2: Set Up the Double Integral
The volume V is given by:
V=∬RzdA=∬Rxy2dA
In terms of x and y, this becomes:
V=∫y=−24∫x=y22y+8xy2dxdy
Step 3: Integrate with Respect to x
Integrate xy2 with respect to x:
∫y=−24∫x=y22y+8xy2dxdy=∫y=−24[2y2x2]x=y2x=2y+8dy
Substitute the limits for x:
=∫y=−24(2y2(2y+8)2−2y2(y2)2)dy
Simplify each term inside the integrand separately.
-
Expand (2y+8)2:
(2y+8)2=4y2+32y+64
So,
2y2(2y+8)2=2y2(4y2+32y+64)=2y4+16y3+32y2
-
Compute 2y2(y2)2:
2y2(y4)=2y6
Putting it all together, we get:
V=∫y=−24(2y4+16y3+32y2−2y6)dy
Step 4: Integrate with Respect to y
Now we integrate term-by-term:
V=∫y=−24(2y4+16y3+32y2−2y6)dy
-
Integral of 2y4:
∫2y4dy=52y5
-
Integral of 16y3:
∫16y3dy=4y4
-
Integral of 32y2:
∫32y2dy=332y3
-
Integral of −2y6:
∫−2y6dy=−14y7
After evaluating these integrals at y=4 and y=−2 and combining the results, you will obtain the final volume V.
