Have you drawn the region and determined your bounds for integration?

3. Yes i have solved it as below but not sure that i m correct and now stuck to get it complete solution. Please help me to get its complete solution

from to given equation 4 – x2 – y2 = 0

Solve for ‘y’ i.e.

y2 = 4 – x2
y =

Also for y = 0,

4 – x2 = 0
x = ±2

Hence, Volume is given by

V =

Let substitute,

x2 + y2 = r2 _______(2)

x = r sin qÞ dx = r cos q dq

y = r cos qÞ dy = –r sin q dq

$\displaystyle V = \int \int_{R_{xy}} 4 - x^2 - y^2 \, dy \, dx$ where $R_{xy}$ is the region in the xy-plane defined by the interior of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 4$.

Switch to polar coordinates:

$\displaystyle V = \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_0^2 (4 - r^2) r \, dr \, d\theta = ....$

how to get limits 0 to 2pi and 0 to 2

Integrate with respect to r. If you cannot do this then:

1. I don't know how you got to the stage of studying multivariable calculus.

2. I suggest you go back and review basic integration techniques.

Please show you work and say where you get stuck.

actually i want to know how to convert limits -2 to +2 and -sq root(4 - x^2) to +sq root(4 - x^2) in 0 to 2pi and 0 to 2 in our integration

Draw the circle! (Have you met polar coordinates before?)
