1. The region of integration is given in 4. The region of integration is given in spherical coordinates by
 
cylindrical coordinates by E = (, , ) | 0 2, 0 3 , 0 sec .
 
E = (r, , z) | 0 2, 0 r 2, 0 z 4 r2 . Since = sec is equivalent to cos = z = 1, E is the
This represents the solid region bounded above by solid bounded by the cone = 3 and the plane z = 1.

7. In cylindrical coordinates E is bounded by the cylinders

r = 1 and r = 2, the plane z = x + 2 = r cos + 2,
and the xy-plane, so E is given by
{(r, , z) | 0 2, 1 r 2, 0 z r cos + 2}.

8. In cylindrical coordinates, E is bounded by the cylinder

r = 1 and the planes z = 0, z = y = r sin with
y 0 0 , so E is given by
{(r, , z) | 0 , 0 r 1, 0 z r sin }. Thus
