  1. Triple Integrals Overview:
    • Similar to rectangular regions, but 3D
    • [a,b][a,b] is the xx part
    • [c,d][c,d] is the yy part
    • [e,f][e,f] is the zz part
    • Integral signs are interchangeable
    • An Example
  3. 3 Cases of General Regions
    • Case 1: (x,y)∈D,h1(x,y)≤z≤h2(x,y)(x,y) \in D,h_1(x,y) \leq z \leq h_2(x,y)
    • Case 2: (y,z)∈D,h1(y,z)≤x≤h2(y,z)(y,z)\in D, h_1(y,z) \leq x \leq h_2(y,z)

            Triple Integrals with a Box Region

            If f(x,y,z)f(x,y,z) is continuous on a box region E=[a,b]×[c,d]×[e,f]E=[a,b] \times[c,d] \times [e,f] , then

            ∫∫∫Ef(x,y,z)dV=∫ef∫cd∫abf(x,y,z)dxdydz \int \int \int_E f(x,y,z) dV = \int^f_e \int^d_c \int^b_a f(x,y,z)dxdydz


            3 Cases of General Regions

            Suppose we are integrating f(x,y,z)f(x,y,z) on region EE. There are 3 cases of finding region EE.

            Case 1: Region EE is

            (x,y)∈D(x,y) \in D
            h1(x,y)≤z≤h2(x,y) h_1(x,y) \leq z \leq h_2(x,y)

            So,

            V=∫∫∫Ef(x,y,z)dV=∫∫D[∫h1(x,y)h2(x,y)f(x,y,z)dz]dAV = \int \int \int_E f(x,y,z)dV = \int \int_D [ \int^{h_2(x,y)}_{h_1(x,y)} f(x,y,z) dz]dA

            Case 2: Region EE is

            (y,z)∈D(y,z) \in D
            h1(y,z)≤x≤h2(y,z) h_1 (y,z) \leq x \leq h_2(y,z)

            So,

            V=∫∫∫Ef(x,y,z)dV=∫∫D[∫h1(y,z)h2(y,z)f(x,y,z)dx]dAV = \int \int \int_E f(x,y,z)dV = \int \int_D [ \int^{h_2(y,z)}_{h_1(y,z)} f(x,y,z) dx]dA

            Case 3: Region EE is

            (x,z)∈D (x,z) \in D
            h1(x,z)≤y≤h2(x,z) h_1 (x,z) \leq y \leq h_2 (x,z)

            So,

            V=∫∫∫Ef(x,y,z)dV=∫∫D[∫h1(x,z)h2(x,z)f(x,y,z)dy]dAV = \int \int \int_E f(x,y,z)dV = \int \int_D [ \int^{h_2(x,z)}_{h_1(x,z)} f(x,y,z) dy]dA


            The Use of Triple Integrals

            The volume of a 3D region EE is given by the triple integral:

            V=∫∫∫EdVV = \int \int \int_E dV
