Find the volume of the solid bounded by the plane z=0 and the paraboloid z=1-x^2 –y^2

Following are the calculation for the volume:

Plane and paraboloid bind a solid The xy-plane (the plane ) on the circle is intersected by the paraboloid

The paraboloid is represented by the interior of this circle. The integrating limitations in polar coordinates are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

z = 1 − x² − y²

We can integrate by first converting to cylindrical coordinates.

z = 1 − r²

At z = 0, r = 1.  So the limits of integration are:

0 ≤ r ≤ 1

0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π

0 ≤ z ≤ 1 − r²

The volume is:

V = ∫ ∫ ∫ r dz dr dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ ∫₀¹ ∫₀ᶻ r dz dr dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ ∫₀¹ rz |₀ᶻ dr dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ ∫₀¹ r (1 − r²) dr dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ ∫₀¹ (r − r³) dr dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ (½ r² − ¼ r⁴) |₀¹ dθ

V = ∫₀²ᴾ ¼ dθ

V = ¼ θ |₀²ᴾ

V = π/2

Another way we can look at this is by slicing the paraboloid into a stack of thin circular discs.  Each disc has a volume of:

dV = π r² dz

We know that r² = 1 - z, so:

dV = π (1 - z) dz

So the volume is:

V = ∫₀¹ π (1 - z) dz

V = π (z - ½ z²) |₀¹

V = π/2
