Lab 13: Double Integrals

◼ Instructions

Welcome to the assignment for the Double Integrals Lab. The purpose of this assignment is to assess your
ability to find volumes using double integrals. Some things to remember as you complete this assignment:
1. Save the notebook to your computer right away, and save your work often.
2. When you have finished all the exercises, close any unnecessary cells and save as a PDF. (Make sure
you Rasterize all 3-dimensional plots)
3. Upload the PDF on Canvas.
4. Do not delete this notebook. Save all your work until after the semester is over and your final grade has
been issued.

◼ Question 1: Basic problems that you can verify without calculus to check your work.

a) The volume under the plane f(x, y) = 4 over the rectangular region with 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 is shaped
like a box with known volume. Set up a double integral to calculate this volume.

In[13]:= f[x_, y_] = 4;

3 2
  f[x, y] ⅆ y ⅆ x
0 0

Out[14]= 24

b) The volume under the plane f(x, y) = 4 over the region shown below that is bounded by the x and y axes
2
and the line y = 2 - 3
x should be half the volume of the object in the previous problem. Set up a double
integral to calculate this volume.

◼ Question 2

a) Use the RegionPlot command to plot the area of a circle that is in the first quadrant (that is, x > 0 and
y > 0) given that the circle has a radius of 4 and centered at the origin. Your plot could use a range of -1 to 5
1
for both x and y values. (Note: Your graph should be 4
of a circle).

b) Use the RegionPlot3D command to show the volume under z = 16 - x2 - y2 but above the region in
1
part (a). Your plot could use a range of -1 to 5 for x, y and z values. (Note: this should be 8
of a sphere with
radius 4; the plot will be more clear if you add PlotPoints → 100 in the RegionPlot3D command.)
(Reminder: the domain of the region plot might be different from the domain of functions. Please ignore the
possible error messages or use the Re[ ] on the functions to restrict the domain of functions to real values
only)
