 Triple Integrals

Again, the triple integral always exists if f is continuous. We can choose the
sample point to be any point in the
sub-box, but if we choose it to be the point (xi, yj, zk) we get a simpler-looking
expression for the triple integral:

4
 Triple Integrals
Just as for double integrals, the practical method for evaluating triple
integrals is to express them as iterated integrals as follows.

The iterated integral on the right side of Fubini’s Theorem means that we
integrate first with respect to x (keeping
y and z fixed), then we integrate with respect to y (keeping
z fixed), and finally we integrate with respect to z.
5
 Triple Integrals
There are five other possible orders in which we can integrate, all of
which give the same value.

For instance, if we integrate with respect to y, then z, and then x, we have

Evaluate the triple integral B xyz2 dV, where B is the rectangular box
given by

B = {(x, y, z) | 0  x  1, –1  y  2, 0  z  3}

Solution:
We could use any of the six possible orders of integration.

If we choose to integrate with respect to x, then y, and then z, we obtain

 D
f (x, y, z)dV  D f (x, y, z)dxdydz

of volume

 The limits on the

integration depend on the
shape of the body D
9
 Triple integrals: limits of integration
 Assuming we integrate with respect to z, then y,
then x, the innermost limits may depend on the
other two variables (x and y), the middle limits
may depend on the outer variable (z), whereas the
outer limits are constants.
 The main task is to determine the correct
limits on x, y, z:

 Applications of Triple Integrals
We know that if f(x)  0, then the single integral represents the area under
the curve y = f(x) from a to b, and if f(x, y)  0, then the double integral D
f(x, y) dA represents the volume under the surface z = f(x, y) and above
D.

The corresponding interpretation of a triple integral

 E f(x, y, z) dV, where f(x, y, z)  0, is not very useful because it would
be the “hypervolume” of a
four-dimensional object and, of course, that is very difficult
to visualize. (Remember that E is just the domain of the function f; the
graph of f lies in four-dimensional space.)
23
Applications of Triple Integrals
Nonetheless, the triple integral E f(x, y, z) dV can be interpreted in different
ways in different physical situations, depending on the physical interpretations
of x, y, z and f(x, y, z).

Let’s begin with the special case where f(x, y, z) = 1 for all points in E. Then
the triple integral does represent the volume of E:

24
Applications of Triple Integrals
For example, you can see this in the case of a type 1 region by
putting f(x, y, z) = 1 in Formula 6:

and we know this represents the volume that lies between the surfaces z =
u1(x, y) and z = u2(x, y).

25
 Example
Use a triple integral to find the volume of the tetrahedron T
bounded by the planes x + 2y + z = 2, x = 2y, x = 0, and
z = 0.

Solution:
The tetrahedron T and its projection D onto the xy-plane are shown in
Figures 14 and 15.

Figure 14 Figure 15 26
Example – Solution cont’d

The lower boundary of T is the plane z = 0 and the upper boundary is the
plane x + 2y + z = 2, that is, z = 2 – x – 2y.

Therefore we have

(Notice that it is not necessary to use triple integrals to compute volumes.

They simply give an alternative method for setting up the calculation.)

27
 Applications of Triple Integrals

• All the applications of double integrals can be immediately extended

to triple integrals.

• For example, if the density function of a solid object that occupies the
region E is  (x, y, z), in units of mass perunit volume, at any given
point

• (x, y, z), then its mass is

and its moments about the three coordinate planes are

28
 Applications of Triple Integrals
The center of mass is located at the point where

If the density is constant, the center of mass of the solid is called the
centroid of E.

The moments of inertia about the three coordinate axes are

29
 Applications of Triple Integrals
The total electric charge on a solid object occupying a region E and
having charge density  (x, y, z) is

If we have three continuous random variables X, Y, and Z, their joint density

function is a function of three variables such that the probability that (X, Y, Z)
lies in E is

30
 Applications of Triple Integrals
In particular,

The joint density function satisfies
