(879,#35) Evaluate the integral

by changing to spherical coordinates.

Solution: Working through the ranges of integration we have, first, 0 <= x <= 3. Next, -sqrt(9-x2) <= y <= sqrt(9-x2) , which implies that x2 + y2 <= 9. Finally, we have 0 <= z <= sqrt(9 - x2 + y2), which implies that x2 + y2 + z2 <= 9.

Consequently, the domain of integration is the hemisphere of radius 3 centered at the origin.
