Triple integrals over general regions

Problem 11.240 · medium

Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint_E 1\, dV \), where \( \displaystyle E = \{(x, y, z) : -1 \le x \le 1,\ 0 \le y \le 1,\ 0 \le z \le 1 - x^{2}\} \).

\[ \int\limits_{0}^{1 - x^{2}} 1\, dz = 1 - x^{2} \]
Integrate in z first.✓ Proved
\[ \int\limits_{0}^{1} \left(1 - x^{2}\right)\, dy = 1 - x^{2} \]
Then in y.✓ Proved
\[ \int\limits_{-1}^{1} \left(1 - x^{2}\right)\, dx = \frac{4}{3} \]
Then in x.✓ Proved

Answer \( \frac{4}{3} \)

✓ Nihil obstat 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. Reviewers found nothing wrong with the explanation.

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_region, checked 2026-10-05 with SymPy 1.14.0.
