2. With so many tools available to calculate the integrals, sometimes all you need to do is to set
up the integral that calculates what you need. This may not be the case at some other times.
In this question, just set up the integrals that calculate the followings, do not evaluate the
integrals!
• Find the area of the region in the first quadrant enclosed by y = 6x x2 and y = 4x 8.
• Find the volume under z = f(x, y) = 1 x2 y2 and above
R = {(x, y) | 1  x  1 , 0  y  1}.
• Find the volume of the region bounded by both of x2 + y2 = 1 and x2 + z2 = 1.
• Consider the solid that is enclosed by z = 16 4x2 y2 and the xy-plane. Now only take
the part of this solid that is in the first octant. Find its volume.
• Find the volume of the solid enclosed by the upper half (z 0) of the sphere x2+y2+z2 = 4
and the cylinder (x 1)2 + y2 = 1.

3. Is it possible to invent an invertible transformation that maps the ellipsoid x2 + 8y2 + 6z2 +
4xy 2xz + 4yz = 9 onto the unit sphere?
4. Let V denote the volume of region enclosed by the ellipsoid (x2/a2) + (y2/b2) + (z2/c2) = 1.
Set up the integral that calculates V and use a transformation. Then interpret the integral
geometrically and find the answer to this integral without calculating the integral.
