Triple integrals over general regions
Problem 11.288 · medium
Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iiint_E x y z\, dV \), where \( \displaystyle E = \{(x, y, z) : 0 \le x \le 4,\ 0 \le y \le \sqrt{x},\ 0 \le z \le y\} \).
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{y} x y z\, dz = \frac{x y^{3}}{2} \]Integrate in z first.✓ Proved
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{x}} \frac{x y^{3}}{2}\, dy = \frac{x^{3}}{8} \]Then in y.✓ Proved
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{4} \frac{x^{3}}{8}\, dx = 8 \]Then in x.✓ Proved

The integration steps are algebraically correct and yield the stated answer.
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 2026-10-07 with SymPy 1.14.0.
