Exercise · ZW-TRIPLE-INTEGRAL-005 · ★★☆ Intermediate
With the same tetrahedron \(E\), compute \(\iiint_E z\,dV\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(\tfrac1{24}\)
Explanation
\(\int_0^1\!\int_0^{1-x}\tfrac{(1-x-y)^2}{2}\,dy\,dx=\int_0^1\tfrac{(1-x)^3}{6}\,dx=\tfrac1{24}\).
Review the concept: Triple integral
The triple integral of a function \(f\) over a solid \(E\) of space is the limit of the sums of the values of \(f\) times the volume \(\Delta V\) of ever finer cells covering \(E\).
\[\iiint_E f\,dV=\lim_{\max\Delta V_i\to0}\sum_i f(x_i^*,y_i^*,z_i^*)\,\Delta V_i\]
