CorrectNot quite: 10.67

2.[2p]

Which iterated integral gives the volume of the tetrahedron in the first octant under the plane x+y+z=1?

Correct
The answer is: $\int_0^1 \int_0^{1 - x} \int_0^{1 - x - y} dz\,dy\,dx$
The answer is: $\int_0^1 \int_0^{1 - x} \int_0^{1 - x - y} dz\,dy\,dx$
The answer is: $\int_0^1 \int_0^{1 - x} \int_0^{1 - x - y} dz\,dy\,dx$

The answer is: The ball $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \le a^2$ is described by constant limits in spherical coordinates, The factor $\sin\varphi$ in the spherical volume element reflects that circles of latitude shrink towards the poles, Doubling a constant density doubles the mass but leaves the centre of mass where it was
