Triple integral q

How are we meant to sketch with just the information of z? By that inequality I can see that z>=0 and |y|<=1-|x|(which is like a diamond) but what about the region of x?

let x>0, y>0

then this is the plane z=1-x-y or x+y+z=1

draw a 3D set of axis and plot x=1, y=1, z=1

join them into a triangle

the volum is under that since z>0

but surface is even in x and in y (mods)

so it is the same above all four quadrants!

Any good?

To be completely honest, no I still dont get it......

Just curious would -1<=x<=1 be the bound for x when doing the triple integral?

No

z: 0 to 1-x-y
y: 0 to 1-x
x: 0 to 1


the answer need to be multiplied by 4 at the end

CORRECTION NOT x4

? it actually made sense when you said multiply by 4 at the end. so you don't?

no because of the xy bit in the integrand

it is the same in the 1st and third quadrant xy (-x)(-y)

the same in 2nd and 4th (-x)(y) and (x)(-y)


I am trying to do the question now properly

30 min approx cause I am doing a neat solution for myself too ...

I have done 1/4 of the question! (very long and very messy). I think is correct.

Proof read for me please and I am sure there are symmetries in this problem but they are TRICKY.

I need clear head before I add to my model solution otherwise I will have to redo and this takes ages.

I figured out how to sketch it. I considered 4 cases, x,y>0, x,y<0, x>0,y<0, and x<0,y>0. And they all give quarter of a prisim so I don't get why you don't multiply by 4 after finding the volume for the positive xyz quadrant. It'd make perfect sense...

There is symmetry but I cannot justify/see it.

The integral gives 1/40 over the 1st and 3rd quadrant and 1/120 over the 2nd and the 4th quadrant.

Yeah I just realised that a pyramid is not all equal when split into four parts by the corners. So the answer is 1/40+1/40+1/120+1/120? Also are you gonna do a full solution to this in the next couple of days? I know you're busy so dont take that question as me being rude lol.
