Chapter 8: Applications of Triple Integration
Section 8.5: Changing Variables in a Triple Integral
Example 8.5.2
Calculate the volume of , the region bounded by the hyperbolic cylinders , , , , , .
Solution
Mathematical Solution
The integration yields to the change of variables for which the Jacobian
requires solving for , , . However, it is easier to calculate the Jacobian
= =
The reciprocal of the absolute value of this Jacobian is then . Hence, the volume of is given by the iterated integral
=
