Avg difficulty 2.5

There are several other ways to set up the integral to give the mass of the tetrahedron in Example.

  1. How many different orders of integration could be used for iterated integrals that are equal to the integral in equation?

  2. Set up an iterated integral, integrating first with respect to zz, then xx, then yy that is equivalent to the integral in equation. Before you write down the integral, think about Figure and draw a plot of the appropriate projection.

  3. Set up an iterated integral, integrating first with respect to yy, then zz, then xx, that is equivalent to the integral in equation. As above, think carefully about the geometry first and draw a plot of the appropriate projection.

  4. Set up an iterated integral, integrating first with respect to xx, then yy, then zz that is equivalent to the integral in equation.
