Visualizing Regions of Integration in Spherical Coordinates
Description
Working in spherical coordinates ρ,φ, and θ, where x=ρ sinφcosθ, y=ρ sinφsinθ, z=ρ cosφ, select a volume element dv. There are six possible choices, namely, ρ2sinφ times any one of the following:
dρ dφ dθ, dρ dθ dφ, dφ dρ dθ, dφ dθ dρ, dθ dφ dρ, dθ dρ dφ
Enter an integrand and the appropriate bounds of integration.
Compute the value of the integral either exactly or numerically.
Obtain a graph of the 3-D region determined by the limits of integration. The bounding faces for the region of integration are drawn with the following color-coding: ∫yellowgray∫greenbrown∫blueredΨ ⅆv.
