Calculus III:

Triple integrals in caresian coordinates





The formula for the general triple integrals is:

∫∫∫E f(x, y, z) dV where dV = dx dy dz



1. Triple integrals in caresian coordinates
over a box : rectangular regions


Consider the box E = B = [a,b] x [c,d] x [r,s], where are listed the x’s first, the y’s second and the z’s third.

The triple integral in this case is:

∫∫∫B f(x, y, z) dV = ∫rs ∫cd ∫ab f(x, y, z) dx dy dz

Note that we integrated with respect to x first, we iterate then for y, and finally for z.

Notice that this order is not important. There are 6 different possible orders to do the integral and that give the same result regardless of the order. It is a matter of convenience and doing the calculus in the easiest manner.



2. Examples


Example 1

Conmpute ∫∫∫B 24 x y z dV over the box B = [1,2] x [0,1] x [2,3].

The triple integral is:

∫∫∫B f(x, y, z) dV = ∫23 ∫01 ∫12 24 x y z dx dy dz =

24 ∫23 ∫01 ∫12 x dx y z dy dz = 24 ∫23 ∫01 (x2/2)|12 y z dy dz =

12 ∫23 ∫01 (4 - 1) y z dy dz = 36 ∫23 ∫01 y dy z dz =

18 ∫23 y2|01 z dz = 18 ∫23 1 z dz = 18 ∫23 z dz = 9 z2|23 =

9 (9 - 4) = 45 . Therefore

∫∫∫B 12 x y z dV = 45



Example 2

Conmpute ∫∫∫E dV over the box B = [a,b] x [c,d] x [r,s].

The triple integral is:

∫∫∫EdV = ∫rs ∫cd ∫ab dx dy dz = (b - a)(d - c)(s - r). That is the volume of the box of sides (b - a), (d - c), and (s - r).

In the general case, the volume of the three-dimetional region E is given by:

V = ∫∫∫E dV



3. Triple integrals in general three-dimensional regions


1. Along the z-axis



The region E is defined as :

E = {(x,y,z)|(x,y) ∈ D, u1(x,y) ≤ z ≤ u2(x,y)}

The triple integral is:

∫∫∫E f(x,y,z) dV = ∫∫D ∫u1(x,y)u2(x,y) f(x,y,z) dz dA

R(x,y) = ∫u1(x,y)u2(x,y) f(x,y,z) dz

The double integral ∫∫D R(x,y) dA can be evaluated in any of the methods that we have seen.


Example 1


Compute ∫∫∫E f(x, y, z) dV . Where E is the region under the plane 3x + 5y + z = 15 , that lies in the first octant.



The region D lies in the xy-plane. It is the triangle with vertices at (0,0), (5,0), and (0,3).

Here are the limits of integration:

The region E is located in the first octant. So it is above the plane z = 0.

0 ≤ z ≤ 15 - 3x - 5y

0 ≤ x ≤ 5
0 ≤ y ≤ - (3/5) x + 3


Or :

0 ≤ x ≤ - (5/3) y + 5
0 ≤ y ≤ 3


Therefore, the integral is:

∫∫∫E f(x,y,z) dV = ∫∫D ∫0 15 - 3x - 5y f(x,y,z) dz dA

= ∫∫D R(x,y) dA = ∫05 ∫0- (3/5) x + 3 R(x,y) dy dx

= ∫05 Q(x) dx = Real value.



2. Along the x-axis



The region E is defined as :

E = {(x,y,z)|(y,z) ∈ D, u1(y,z) ≤ z ≤ u2(y,z)}

The triple integral is:

∫∫∫E f(x,y,z) dV = ∫∫D ∫u1(y,z)u2(y,z)) f(x,y,z) dz dA

R(y,z) = ∫u1(y,z)u2(y,z) f(x,y,z) dz

The double integral ∫∫D R(y,z) dA can be evaluated in any of the methods that we have seen.


Example 2


Compute ∫∫∫E dV . Where E is the region under the plane 2x + y + z = 8 , delimited by z = 3√y and z = 3y/2.



Here are the limits of integration:

3y/2 ≤ z ≤ 3√y
0 ≤ x ≤ (8 - y - z)/2
0 ≤ y ≤ 4


Therefore, the integral is:

∫∫∫E dV = ∫∫D ∫0(8 - y - z)/2 dx dA

∫04 ∫3y/23√y (8 - y - z)/2 dz dy = ∫04 R(y) dy

= Real value.



3. Along the y-axis



The region E is defined as :

E = {(x,y,z)|(x,z) ∈ D, u1(x,z) ≤ z ≤ u2(x,z)}

The triple integral is:

∫∫∫E f(x,y,z) dV = ∫∫D ∫u1(x,z)u2(x,z)) f(x,y,z) dy dA

= ∫∫D R(x,z) dA

The double integral ∫∫D R(x,z) dA can be evaluated in any of the methods that we have seen.


Example 3


Compute ∫∫∫E f(x,y,z) dV . Where E is the solid bounded by y = 4x2 + 4z2, and the plane y = 8.



The disk at y = 8 has the equation: 4x2 + 4y2 = 8 → x2 + z2 = 2, then the radius of √2.

In polar coordiantes, we have: x = r cos θ z = r sin θ

Here are the limits of integration:

4x2 + 4y2 ≤ y ≤ 8
0 ≤ r ≤ √2
0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π


Therefore, the integral is:

∫∫∫E dV = ∫∫D ∫4x2 + 4y2 8 f(x,y,z) dy dA

∫0 2π ∫0 2√2 R(x,z) r dr dθ

= Real value.
