Question:

Find the volume of the solid in the first octant bounded by the parabolic cylinder {eq}z = 16 - x^2 {/eq} and the plane {eq}y = 1 {/eq}.

Volume Of The Solid:

We find the volume of the solid bounded by the parabolic cylinder with the help of triple integral. In the first octant (x,y,z) passing through the origin (0,0,0).Therefore: Volume can be expressed as:

{eq}Volume= \int \int \int dz dy dx {/eq}

According to the given condition we find the limits:

{eq}z = 16 - x^2 \rightarrow (1) {/eq} and the plane {eq}y = 1 {/eq}

put z = 0 , in equation...
