Improper integrals arise in polar coordinates when the radial coordinate \(r\) becomes arbitrarily large. Under certain conditions, these integrals are treated in the usual way: $$\int_{\alpha}^{\beta} \int_{a}^{\infty} f(r, \theta) r d r d \theta=\lim _{b \rightarrow \infty} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} \int_{a}^{b} f(r, \theta) r d r d \theta$$ Use this technique to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\cos \theta}{r^{3}} r d r d \theta$$
Miscellaneous volumes Choose the best coordinate system for finding the volume of the following solids. Surfaces are specified using the coordinates that give the simplest description, but the simplest integration may be with respect to different variables. The solid inside the sphere \(\rho=1\) and below the cone \(\varphi=\pi / 4\) for \(z \geq 0\)
Changing order of integration If possible, write iterated integrals in cylindrical coordinates for the following regions in the specified orders. Sketch the region of integration. The solid outside the cylinder \(r=1\) and inside the sphere \(\rho=5\) for \(z \geq 0,\) in the orders \(d z d r d \theta, d r d z d \theta,\) and \(d \theta d z d r\)
An important integral in statistics associated with the normal distribution is \(I=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x .\) It is evaluated in the following steps. a. Assume that $$\begin{aligned} I^{2} &=\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x\right)\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-y^{2}} d y\right) \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}-y^{2}} d x d y \end{aligned}$$ where we have chosen the variables of integration to be \(x\) and \(y\) and then written the product as an iterated integral. Evaluate this integral in polar coordinates and show that \(I=\sqrt{\pi} .\) Why is the solution \(I=-\sqrt{\pi}\) rejected? b. Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x, \int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x^{2}} d x,\) and \(\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{2} e^{-x^{2}} d x\) (using part (a) if needed).
Miscellaneous volumes Choose the best coordinate system for finding the volume of the following solids. Surfaces are specified using the coordinates that give the simplest description, but the simplest integration may be with respect to different variables. That part of the solid cylinder \(r \leq 2\) that lies between the cones \(\varphi=\pi / 3\) and \(\varphi=2 \pi / 3\)
