MATH 1211 Tutorial IX-Volume Integrals

1. This document discusses volume integrals involving regions bounded by surfaces like planes and paraboloids. It shows how to evaluate the volume integrals by transforming to different coordinate systems like Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. 2. Specific examples calculate the volume above the xy-plane and below the paraboloid z=4-x^2-2y^2, and the volume inside the cone z^2=x^2+y^2 and above the plane z=a. 3. Other examples find the triple integral of x^2+y^2+z^2 over the region inside the cone z^2=x^2+y^2 and below z=a
