Multi-variable Calc question Use cylindrical coordinates to evaluate the triple integral?

Use cylindrical coordinates to evaluate the triple integral sqrt(x^(2)+y^(2)) dV , where E is the solid bounded by the circular paraboloid z = 16-4(x^(2)+y^(2) and the xy - plane.

    Using cylindrical coordinates:

    z = 16 - 4(x^2 + y^2) = 16 - 4r^2.

    This crosses the xy-plane (z = 0) when 0 = 16 - 4r^2 ==> r = 2.

    So, ∫∫∫ √(x^2 + y^2) dV

    = ∫(θ = 0 to 2π) ∫(r = 0 to 2) ∫(z = 0 to 16 - 4r^2) r * (r dz dr dθ), via cylindrical coordinates

    = 2π ∫(r = 0 to 2) r^2 (16 - 4r^2) dr

    = 2π ∫(r = 0 to 2) (16r^2 - 4r^4) dr

    = 2π (16r^3/3 - 4r^5/5) {for r = 0 to 2}

    = 512π/15.

    I hope this helps!
