Math Problem Statement

Se quiere encontrar el volumen del sólido Q que está acotado por el cilindro y = x^2 y los planos y + z = 1 y z = 0.

Solution

Let's analyze the problem.

We are asked to find the volume VV of the solid QQ, which is bounded by the following surfaces:

  • The cylinder y=x2y = x^2,
  • The planes y+z=1y + z = 1 and z=0z = 0 (i.e., the base of the solid is on the xyxy-plane).

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Understanding the boundaries:

  • The cylinder y=x2y = x^2 describes the lateral boundary.
  • The plane y+z=1y + z = 1 can be rewritten as z=1yz = 1 - y, which is the top boundary of the solid.
  • The plane z=0z = 0 is the base of the solid.

Thus, the solid is bounded from below by z=0z = 0 and from above by z=1yz = 1 - y, where yy itself is constrained by the cylinder y=x2y = x^2.

2. Setting up the double integral:

To find the volume, we can integrate the height of the solid z=1yz = 1 - y over the region bounded by the projection of the solid on the xyxy-plane.

Since y=x2y = x^2 is the boundary for yy, we can express the region as:

  • xx ranges from 1-1 to 11 (based on the limits given by the cylinder).
  • For each xx, yy ranges from x2x^2 to 11 (from the cylinder up to the plane).

Therefore, the volume integral should be:

V=201x21(1y)dydxV = 2 \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{1} (1 - y) \, dy \, dx

This matches the third option: V=201y1(1x2)dxdzV = 2 \int_0^1 \int_{\sqrt{y}}^{1} (1 - x^2) \, dx \, dz

Thus, the correct answer is the third option (highlighted in the image).

Tip: Always visualize the region of integration when setting up a double or triple integral. Drawing the projection on the xyxy-plane helps in identifying the correct bounds.
