Triple integrals
Problem 11.100 · easy
Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint_B x y + z \, dV \) where \( \displaystyle B = [0, 3] \times [0, 1] \times [0, 2] \).
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{2} \left(x y + z\right)\, dz = 2 x y + 2 \]Integrate in z.✓ Proved
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{1} \left(2 x y + 2\right)\, dy = x + 2 \]Then y.✓ Proved
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{3} \left(x + 2\right)\, dx = \frac{21}{2} \]Then x.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{21}{2} \)
Every line of this solution was proved by the computer algebra system SymPy. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. The explanation has not been reviewed yet.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/triple_integral_box, checked 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
