Question: Calculate the volume of the solid R bounded by the two surfaces $z=f(x,y)=1-y^2$ and $z=g(x,y)=x^2$ using cylindrical coordinates. In cylindrical coordinates the solid can be described as: $R=\{(r,\theta,z)\mid 0\leq r\leq __ ,0\leq \theta\leq __, __\leq z\leq __\}$, and its volume is ____.
1. **State the problem:** We want to find the volume of the solid $R$ bounded by the surfaces $$z = f(x,y) = 1 - y^2$$ and $$z = g(x,y) = x^2$$ using cylindrical coordinates.
2. **Convert to cylindrical coordinates:** Recall that $$x = r\cos\theta, \quad y = r\sin\theta, \quad z = z.$$
3. **Rewrite the surfaces in cylindrical coordinates:**
- $$z = 1 - y^2 = 1 - (r\sin\theta)^2 = 1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta$$
- $$z = x^2 = (r\cos\theta)^2 = r^2 \cos^2\theta$$
4. **Find the region in the $r$-$\theta$ plane where the surfaces intersect:**
Set $$1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta = r^2 \cos^2\theta$$
Rearranged:
$$1 = r^2 \cos^2\theta + r^2 \sin^2\theta = r^2 (\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta) = r^2$$
Since $$\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1$$, we get
$$r^2 = 1 \implies r = 1$$ (taking the positive root since $r \geq 0$).
5. **Determine the bounds for $r$, $\theta$, and $z$:**
- $$0 \leq r \leq 1$$
- $$0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$$ (full rotation around the $z$-axis)
- $$z$$ is bounded below by $$g(r,\theta) = r^2 \cos^2\theta$$ and above by $$f(r,\theta) = 1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta$$
6. **Set up the volume integral in cylindrical coordinates:**
The volume element is $$dV = r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta$$.
So,
$$\text{Volume} = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^1 \int_{r^2 \cos^2\theta}^{1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta} r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta$$
7. **Integrate with respect to $z$ first:**
$$\int_{r^2 \cos^2\theta}^{1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta} r \, dz = r \left[ z \right]_{z = r^2 \cos^2\theta}^{z = 1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta} = r \left(1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta - r^2 \cos^2\theta \right) = r \left(1 - r^2 (\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta) \right) = r (1 - r^2)$$
8. **Simplify the integral:**
$$\text{Volume} = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^1 r (1 - r^2) \, dr \, d\theta$$
9. **Integrate with respect to $r$:**
$$\int_0^1 r (1 - r^2) \, dr = \int_0^1 (r - r^3) \, dr = \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} - \frac{r^4}{4} \right]_0^1 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$$
10. **Integrate with respect to $\theta$:**
$$\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{1}{4} \, d\theta = \frac{1}{4} \times 2\pi = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\text{Volume} = \frac{\pi}{2}}$$
**Summary:**
- The solid $R$ in cylindrical coordinates is $$R = \{(r, \theta, z) \mid 0 \leq r \leq 1, 0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi, r^2 \cos^2\theta \leq z \leq 1 - r^2 \sin^2\theta \}$$
- The volume of $R$ is $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$.
