Example Question #1 : Triple Integration In Cartesian Coordinates

$\begin{align*}&\text{Evaluate the triple integral}\int_{-13}^{2}\int_{-13}^{-7}\int_{6}^{9}(3x + y + 2z)dxdydz\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

405

Correct answer:

405

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{When performing a triple integral, it is worth noting that the order}\\&\text{in which the integration performed does not entirely matter, since each variable will be}\\&\text{integrated independently, with the others being treated as constants for the}\\&\text{puposes of integration. For example:}\\&\int_{s}^{t} \int_{c}^{d} \int_{a}^b f(x,y,z)dxdydz=\int_{a}^{b} \int_{c}^{d} \int_{s}^t f(x,y,z)dzdydx\\&\text{Considering our integral:}\\&\int_{-13}^{2}\int_{-13}^{-7}\int_{6}^{9}(3x + y + 2z)dxdydz\\&\text{The approach is simply to take it step by step:}\\&\int_{-13}^{2}\int_{-13}^{-7}\int_{6}^{9}(3x + y + 2z)dxdydz=\int_{-13}^{2}\int_{-13}^{-7}(x{(y + 2z)} + {(3x^2)}/2)dydz|_{6}^{9}\\&\int_{-13}^{2}\int_{-13}^{-7}(3y + 6z + 135/2)dydz=\int_{-13}^{2}({(3y{(y + 4z + 45)})}/2)dz|_{-13}^{-7}\\&\int_{-13}^{2}(36z + 225)dz=9z{(2z + 25)}dz|_{-13}^{2}=405\end{align*}$
