46.1 Triple Integral

46.1.1 Basic Concepts

#####Definition: Triplepoints

description: $\iiint_{\Omega}f(x,y,z)\mathrm{d}\mathbf{v}=\lim_{\lambda\to0}\sum_{k=1}^{n}f(\xi_{k},\eta_{k},\xi_{k})\Delta\nu_{k}$

Explanation

  • Concept:
  • A ternary function integrating into a spatial field $\Omega$;
  • $\Delta\nu_{k}$ is the volume of the geometric solid in the k-th region;
  • Core:
  • The core of the triple integral section is the calculation of the triple integral;
  • The core of triple integral calculations is to convert them into definite integrals or double integrals;

46.1.2 Basic Calculation Methods

#####Theorem: Calculationoftherectangularcoordinateoftripleintegrals

description:
1. First one, then two: $$\iiint_{\Omega}f(x,y,z)\mathrm{dv}=\iint_{D_{xy}}d\sigma\int_{z_{1}(x,y)}^{z_{2}(x,y)}f(x,y,z)dz$$
2. Two first, one later: $$\iiint_{\Omega}f(x,y,z)\mathrm{d}\mathbf{v}=\int_{c_{1}}^{c_{2}}dz\iint_{D_{c}}f(x,y,z)dxdy$$

Explanation

  • First one, then two:
  • Explanation:
  • First, take definite integrals on z;
  • Double integration on xy;
  • Limiting method:
  • Draw a projection surface $D_{xy}$ of the current set on the xy axis, and draw a ray upward on this projection plane passing through the geometric solid;
  • The lower part of the point is the lower limit of the points $z=z_1(x,y)$, and the upper part of the part is the upper limit of the points $z=z_2(x,y)$;
  • Two before one:
  • Explanation:
  • First, perform the double integral on xy;
  • Taking definite integrals on z;
  • Limiting method:
  • When projecting a geometric solid onto the z axis, the upper and lower bounds of z are its maximum and minimum values projected onto the z axis;

46.5 Frequently Tested Question Types


Question Type: Calculationoftripleintegrals

PART 1: Problem-solving methods

PART 2: Typical Example Problems

PART 3: Key Points Review

Key Point: Suitable for situations where two comes first, then one

  • 1. The integrand function is simply a single-variable function about z;
  • 2. When using z=z to truncate the area of a geometric solid, the formula for this area is easy to calculate (for example, $x^2+y^2<1-z^2$);
