Answer

Please see the figure attached. The triple integral that yields the volume of ${\cal W}$: $\mathop \smallint \limits_{}^{} \mathop \smallint \limits_{}^{} \mathop \smallint \limits_{\cal W}^{} 1{\rm{d}}V = \mathop \smallint \limits_{y = 0}^1 \mathop \smallint \limits_{z = {y^2}}^{\sqrt y } \mathop \smallint \limits_{x = 0}^{4 - y - z} {\rm{d}}x{\rm{d}}z{\rm{d}}y$

Work Step by Step

Please see the figure attached for the region ${\cal W}$ bounded by the surfaces: $z = {y^2}$, $y = {z^2}$, and $x=0$, $x+y+z=4$. We choose to project ${\cal W}$ onto the $yz$-plane and obtain the domain ${\cal T}$. From the figure attached, we see that ${\cal T}$ is bounded below by the curve $z = {y^2}$ and bounded above by the curve $y = {z^2}$. Thus, we can consider ${\cal T}$ as a vertically simple region. To obtain the left and right boundaries of ${\cal T}$ in the $yz$-plane, we find the intersection of the two curves: $z = {y^2}$ and $y = {z^2}$ by solving the equation: $z = {y^2} = \sqrt y $ Squaring both sides, we get ${y^4} = y$. So, ${y^4} - y = 0$ $y\left( {{y^3} - 1} \right) = 0$ So, $y=0$, $y=1$. Thus, the description of ${\cal T}$: ${\cal T} = \left\{ {\left( {y,z} \right)|0 \le y \le 1,{y^2} \le z \le \sqrt y } \right\}$ Referring to the figure attached, we describe ${\cal W}$ as a $x$-simple region bounded below by $x=0$ and bounded above by $x=4-y-z$. Thus, the region description of ${\cal W}$: ${\cal W} = \left\{ {\left( {x,y,z} \right)|0 \le y \le 1,{y^2} \le z \le \sqrt y ,0 \le x \le 4 - y - z} \right\}$ From the description we obtain the triple integral that yields the volume of ${\cal W}$: $\mathop \smallint \limits_{}^{} \mathop \smallint \limits_{}^{} \mathop \smallint \limits_{\cal W}^{} 1{\rm{d}}V = \mathop \smallint \limits_{y = 0}^1 \mathop \smallint \limits_{z = {y^2}}^{\sqrt y } \mathop \smallint \limits_{x = 0}^{4 - y - z} {\rm{d}}x{\rm{d}}z{\rm{d}}y$
