5. Find the area bounded between the circle r = 2 sin and the limacon r = 2 2 sin .
Solution. Through the use of symmetry, we just need to
nd the area of one half (the right side) and multiply by
2. To nd the bounds on the angle, we need to solve for
the intersections points:
2 sin = 2 2 sin 4 sin = 2 sin =
1

So, in the 1st quadrant, =

6
. Between 0

, the
area is bounded by 2 sin(); between

is bounded by 2 2 sin(). Hence, the integral of the area

6. Write down the integral in polar coordinates of the area bounded on the top and bottom by y = x, on the side by
x = 3 and the circle r = 5, a graph of which is shown below.
Solution. x = 3 = r cos = 3 hence
r =
3
cos
= 3 sec . The circle has equation in polar
coordinates: r = 5.
From the sketch of the graph, we see that the r bounds
are the circle and the line x = 3 and the angle bounds are
set by y = x and y = x. So, the integral in polar
coordinates is:

y
z
x
(a) dy dz dx
Solution. To switch the order of integration to
dy dz dx, we need to gure out the bounds on x and
z. 1 x 1, so there is nothing to do there. y is
limited by 1 and x
2
, which limits z, since
0 z 1 y, the smallest y can be is x
2
, so the
largest 1 y can be is 1 x
2
. Similarly, the largest y
can be is 1, so the smallest 1 y can be is 0 in this
regions. 0 1 y 1 x
2
so for every x,
0 z 1 x
2
. Then y is limited by z through
z = 1 y, y = 1 z, and x
2
, so the integral is

2
dy dz dx
(b) dy dx dz
Solution. Similar the the aforementioned, we just
need to switch dz dx to dx dz
(c) dx dy dz
Solution. dx dy dz, the plane of projection is on
the yz-plane, which means the shadow is the
traingular region bounded by the axis and z = 1 y.
We solve backwards for the bounds of x. x doesnt
depend on z, just y. And x
2
= y shows that the
bounds of x are

y x

y, where y runs from

0 to 1. When we switch the order of integration
from dy dz to dz dy, then the integral becomes:

dx dy dz
(d) dx dz dy
Solution. Similar to what we did above, just
reverse the bounds on dy dz as in double integrals.

dy dx giving us

9. Find the volume of the nite region bounded by the planes
z = x x + z = 8
z = y y = 8
z = 0
Solution. In this problem, the ideal projection pane would not be the xy plane since there are competing bounds for
z based on x, y. Instead, we will examine the bounds in order:
(a) The two planes z = x and z + x = 8 and z = 0 will cut out an innite prism.
(b) The two planes z = y and y = 8 will cut out another innte prism. The tip of this prism is going to be a bit
higher than the prism in the previous part. The region that we want is the regions bounded by all of the planes.
So it is going to be the portion of the prism in part 1. cut out by y = z and y = 8. We choose the plane of projection
to be the xz plane. Therefore, the integral we need to solve for is:

Projection to the xy plane is straightforward, the trick here is to gure out the equation of the plane. This is a bit of
review (and makes a beautiful Final Exam problem. Not a great Exam 3 problem): Any plane is determined by a
vector normal to the plane. The cross product of the two distinct vectors on a plane will give a vector normal to the
plane.

(b) Re-invent a new cylindrical coordinate system for this problem

where we leave z alone and we destroy x and y. But

why is z special? We could leave y alone and destroy x
and z. Lets go for it!:
r

P(y, r, )

and now with this system we see that x

and other strange new cylindrical coordinate equations. and
so we get:

) and bounded by the hemisphere

Solution. Lets rst draw a picture to get an idea of
what we are dealing with.
Lets try doing this with cylindrical coordinates rst: So
we need limits of integration for:
_ _ _
r dz dr d
However we run into a problem quite quickly, when
integrating with respect to z. I always run into the cone
z =
_
x
2
+ y
2
rst but depending on my x and y
sometimes I exit through the cone z =
_
3 (x
2
+ y
2
) and
other times I exit through the hemisphere
x
2
+ y
2
+ z
2
= 9.

So perhaps cylindrical is not the best. Now lets consider
spherical.
