Volume of a sphere Use double integrals in polar coordinates to verify that the volume of a sphere of radius \(a\) is \(\frac{4}{3} \pi a^{3}\).
Intersecting spheres One sphere is centered at the origin and has a radius of \(R\). Another sphere is centered at \((0.0, r)\) and has a radius of \(r,\) where \(r>R / 2 .\) What is the volume of the region common to the two spheres?
Evaluate the following integrals using the method of your choice. A sketch is helpful. \(\iint_{R} \frac{x-y}{x^{2}+y^{2}+1} d A ; R\) is the region bounded by the unit circle centered at the origin.
Sketch the following regions \(R\). Then express \(\iint_{R} g(r, \theta) d A\) as an iterated integral over \(R\) in polar coordinates. The region bounded by the spiral \(r=2 \theta,\) for \(0 \leq \theta \leq \pi,\) and the \(x\) -axis
Areas of circles Use integration to show that the circles \(r=2 a \cos \theta\) and \(r=2 a \sin \theta\) have the same area, which is \(\pi a^{2}\).
