Give the limits of integration for evaluating the integral $iiint_Rf(r,theta,z),dz,r,dr,dtheta$ as an iterated integral over the region that is bounded below by the plane $z=0$, on the side by the cylinder $r=9costheta$, and on top by the paraboloid $z=3r^2$.
$0le zle2r^2$; $0le rle9costheta$; what about $theta$?
What I don't understand is how to get the last one. I would think the lower limit of $ theta$ would be $0$, and its upper limit would be $2À$, considering both components of the 3D objects have the full range of rotation for $θ$. Apparently the answer is ACTUALLY that $-pi/2 ≤ theta ≤ pi /2$. I don't understand how to arrive at that answer.

How can you have $0le r le 9costheta$ when $costheta < 0?$

The plot of your region is:
I've drawn the cylinder as a spiral in order not to cover the inside. Let's just look at the equation of your cylinder:
$$r = 9 cos(theta) $$
$$ r^2 = 9rcos(theta)$$
Since $r^2 = x^2 + y^2$ and $x = r cos(theta)$ we have:
$$x^2 + y^2 = 9x$$
$$(x - 4.5)^2 + y^2 = 4.5^2 = r^2$$
From this we can conclude that the angle $theta$ which lies on the $xy$ plane is bounded by $-fracpi2$ and $fracpi2$
As you can see the argument of $x_1$ is $pi /2$ and the argument of $x_2$ is $-pi /2$ (well, almost).
