- Consider the region $R$ that lies inside the triangle with vertices $(0,1)$, $(1,-2)$, and $(2,3)$, and the change-of-coordinates $u=x-y+1$, $v=3x+y-1$. (These coordinates were obtained by finding an equation of the lines of two edges of the triangle.) Show that $\ds \frac{\partial (x,y)}{\partial(u,v)} = \frac{1}{4}$, and then fill in the missing bounds of the integral $$\ds\iint_R 3x+y dA = \int_{0}^{?}\int_{0}^{?}(v+1)(\frac{1}{4})dvdu.$$
Solution
The Jacobian of $u$ and $v$ with respect to $x$ and $y$ is the area of the parallelogram with edges equal to $\frac{\partial (u,v)}{\partial x}=(1,3)$ and $\frac{\partial (u,v)}{\partial y}=(-1,1)$, which is $A = |(1)(1)-(3)(-1)|=4$. This gives $\ds \frac{\partial (u,v)}{\partial(x,y)} = 4$, and hence we have $\ds \frac{\partial (x,y)}{\partial(u,v)} = \frac{1}{4}$.
To find the bounds, we need to figure out where the points $(0,1)$, $(1,-2)$, and $(2,3)$ lie in the $(u,v)$ plane.
- The point $(x,y)=(0,1)$ is at $u=0-1+1 = 0$ and $v=3(0)+1-1 = 0$, so $(u,v)=(0,0)$, the origin of our new coordinate system.
- The point $(x,y)=(1,-2)$ is at $u=1-(-2)+1 = 4$ and $v=3(1)+(-2)-1 = 0$, so $(u,v)=(4,0)$.
- The point $(x,y)=(2,3)$ is at $u=2-(3)+1 = 4$ and $v=3(2)+(3)-1 = 0$, so $(u,v)=(0,8)$.
The three points form a triangle in the $uv$-plane. The top edge of that triangle is the line $v=8-2u$. As such, we have $$\ds\iint_R 3x+y dA = \int_{0}^{4}\int_{0}^{8-2u}(v+1)(\frac{1}{4})dvdu.$$
coordinates = {(u + v)/4, (v - 3 u + 4)/4};

- A bead is formed by drilling a hole through a sphere. The solid region shown below is the region inside a sphere of radius 2 and outside a cylinder of radius 1. Set up an iterated triple integral in spherical coordinates that would give the volume of the solid.

Solution
The sphere has equation $\rho = 2$. The cylinder has equation $r=1$ or rather $\rho \sin \phi = 1$, which we can rewrite at $\rho = \csc \phi$. The two surfaces intersect when $\sin\phi = \frac{1}{2}$, so when $\phi = \pi/6$ and $\phi = 5\pi/6$. The volume is given by the integral $$V=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6}\int_{\csc \phi}^{2}\rho^2\sin\phi d\rho d\phi d\theta.$$
We can check our solution is correct by drawing the region with Mathematica. The code below uses the custom function plotRegion3D[]. You can also use the built in ParametricRegion[] command (see a previous day for examples).
plotRegion3D[cs_, ob_, mb_, ib_] :=
Show[{{ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[Table[cs /. (ib[[1]] -> ib[[i]]), {i, 2, 3}], ob, mb], AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}, Mesh -> {15, 1}],
ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[Table[(cs /. (ib[[1]] -> (ib[[2]] (1 - s) + ib[[3]] s))) /. (mb[[1]] -> mb[[i]]), {i, 2, 3}], ob], {s, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue}, Mesh -> {15, 0}],
ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[Table[(cs /. (ib[[1]] -> (ib[[2]] (1 - s) + ib[[3]] s))) /. (mb[[1]] -> (mb[[2]] (1 - t) + mb[[3]] t)) /. (ob[[1]] -> ob[[i]]), {i, 2, 3}]], {t, 0, 1}, {s, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Green, Mesh -> {0, 0}]}}, PlotRange -> All]

- Consider the 2D region in the $yz$-plane satisfying $1\leq y \leq 2$ and $y\leq z\leq 9-y^2$. This region is revolved about the $z$-axis to produce a solid of revolution. Set up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates that would give the volume of this solid. Half of the region is shown below.

Solution
The volume is $$V=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{1}^{2}\int_{r}^{9-r^2}r dz dr d\theta.$$
We can check our solution is correct by drawing the region with Mathematica, using the custom function plotRegion3D[] (defined in the previous question).
coordinates = {r Cos[theta], r Sin[theta], z}
plotRegion3D[coordinates, {theta, 0, 2 Pi}, {r, 1, 2}, {z, r, 9-r^2}]
