The instructions and problems for a university-level mathematics test focusing on double and triple integrals. The test includes questions on finding areas and volumes of regions and solids using double and triple integrals, as well as reversing the order of integration. The document also includes examples of students' incorrect reasoning and the correct solutions.

this problem are about this task.
a. Sketch out the region of integration. Do not worry about fancy labels … just roughly sketch out the region (with axes labels and scales) and actually shade the region of integration.
b. While taking the test, Leo decided he would exploit the symmetry of the region of integration. He drew a mighty fine picture; he had his boundary curves dutifully labeled in a color coded fashion and his axis limits actually labeled as points on the axes. Leo even asserted his answer affirmatively; that is, Leo wrote as his final statement the equation 2 2

Leo got his paper back he had lost more than half the points for the problem. Write a sentence or two that explains the error in Leo’s reasoning – that is, explain why those two double integrals are not equal. A picture might help with your explanation.
c. After the test, Gemini and Orion were talking about the problem. Orion was saying what a pain it was that he had to use 4 double integrals when he reversed the order of integration. Gemini noted that she was able to do it with only 3 double integrals. Both students had valid solutions to the problem. I’ll give you full credit if you can come up with Gemini’s solution, and ¾ credit if you come up with Orion’s solution. There are a couple of caveats,
credit you need to have a fully labeled picture (or pictures) of the region of integration that supports your integrals. Work this part of the problem on page 5.

Each of the double integrals below finds the areas of one of these regions or a combination of two or more of the regions. In each provided blank, state the region(s) whose area is being found by the attendant double integral. The answers for the first two double integrals have been given to help you understand what I’m asking for. No work should be shown other than your answer. Feel free to mark up Figure G in any way you see fit.

Organize your work in a manner similar to what we showed in page 2 of that document. You do not need to show the formal Riemann sum – you can just add up the numbers in the appropriate column and state an appropriate conclusion.
