Find the average value of the squared distance between the origin and points in the solid paraboloid D={ (x,y,z): 0 ≤ z ≤ 4 - x^2 - y^2}
I have no idea how to start this.
To find the average value of the squared distance between the origin and points in the solid paraboloid, we need to compute the integral of the squared distance over the solid paraboloid and divide by the volume of the solid paraboloid.
The squared distance between the origin (0,0,0) and a point (x,y,z) can be calculated using the distance formula:
d^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2
Now, let's proceed with finding the average value of the squared distance.
Step 1: Calculate the integral of the squared distance over the solid paraboloid.
∫∫∫(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) dzdydx
We will use iterated triple integration to compute this integral.
Step 2: Determine the limits of integration.
From the definition of the solid paraboloid (D), we have the following constraints:
0 ≤ z ≤ 4 - x^2 - y^2
Since the paraboloid is symmetric about the z-axis, we can integrate over the entire xy-plane, which implies:
-∞ ≤ x ≤ ∞
-∞ ≤ y ≤ ∞
Step 3: Evaluate the triple integral.
∫∫∫D (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) dzdydx
Since the solid paraboloid has a simple equation, we can compute this integral using Cartesian coordinates:
∫∫∫D (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) dzdydx
= ∫∫(x^2 + y^2 + (4 - x^2 - y^2)) dydx (limits of integration will depend on the specific region of integration, please provide the specific details)
Step 4: Compute the volume of the solid paraboloid.
To compute the volume, we need to calculate the integral of 1 over the solid paraboloid:
∫∫∫D 1 dzdydx
= ∫∫(4 - x^2 - y^2) dydx
Step 5: Divide the integral of the squared distance by the volume to find the average value.
Average value = [ ∫∫(x^2 + y^2 + (4 - x^2 - y^2)) dydx ] / [ ∫∫(4 - x^2 - y^2) dydx ]
(Note: The limits of integration will depend on the specific region of integration, so please provide the limits to evaluate these integrals accurately.)
By following these steps, you should be able to calculate the average value of the squared distance between the origin and points in the solid paraboloid.
