Each point in three dimensions is _______________ represented in cylindrical coordinates by
using
and
The conversion formulas from rectangular coordinates
to cylindrical coordinates
are
![]()
and conversely,
![]()
A triple integral
can sometimes be evaluated by transforming to cylindrical coordinates if the region of integration
is
-simple and the projection of
onto the
-plane is a region
that can be described more naturally in terms of polar coordinates over the region of integration
Proposition (Triple Integral in Cylindrical Coordinates) Let
be a region with upper surface
and lower surface
and let
be the projection of the solid onto the
-plane expressed in polar coordinates. Then, if
is continuous on
the triple integral of
over
is given by
![]()
![]()
Each point in three dimensions is ___________________ represented in spherical coordinates by
using
and
The conversion formulas from rectangular coordinates
to spherical coordinates
are
![]()
![]()
![]()
and conversely,
![]()
Using Jacobians, we can show that the _____________ of _______________ in spherical coordinates is
![]()
Using this formula, we can form partitions and take a limit of a Riemann sums as the partitions are refined to obtain the following integral.
Proposition (Triple Integral in Spherical Coordinates) If
is _____________________ on the closed bounded region
, then the triple integral of
over
is given by
![]()
![]()
where
is the region
expressed in spherical coordinates.
Example (Triple Integral in Spherical Coordinates) Using spherical coordinates verify that the volume of a sphere is
where
is the radius of the sphere.
Solution. Since the equation of the sphere is
for
and
Then the volume is given by the triple integral in spherical coordinates,
![]()
