FInd the volume of the region bounded by the parabolids z=3x^2 +3y^2 and z = 4-x^2-y^2
Curve of intersection (and region of integration):
3x^2 + 3y^2 = 4 - x^2 - y^2 ==> x^2 + y^2 = 1, the unit circle.
**This suggests the use of polar coordinates.
So, the volume equals
∫∫ [(4 - x^2 - y^2) - (3x^2 + 3y^2)] dA
= ∫∫ (4 - 4(x^2 + y^2)) dA
= ∫(r = 0 to 1) ∫(θ = 0 to 2π) (4 - 4r^2) * (r dθ dr), via polar coordinates
= ∫(r = 0 to 1) 2π(4r - 4r^3) dr
= 2π(2r^2 - r^4) {for r = 0 to 1}
= 2π.
I hope this helps!
