i have a triple integral ∭zdV over the tetrahedron with vertices: (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 1), (1, 0, 0), and (0, 0, 0).



I calculated the plane and got the boundary of 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1-x, 0≦z≦y.



the correct answer is supposed tobe 1/16 ,however, i keep getting the wrong answer



Can somebody help me where i get wrong and what the correct answer is?
Thank you!!!

(Your planes do not correspond to the given points.)



Draw a figure! You then will see that the tetrahedron $T$ is defined by the four inequalities
$$xgeq0,quad ygeq0,quad zgeq y,quad x+zleq 1 .tag1$$
Replacing the $geq$ signs with $=$ we obtain the equations of the four planes containing the faces of $T$. Any three of these four planes intersect in one of the given vertices.



From $(1)$ we infer that automatically $zgeq0$ in all points of $T$. We therefore choose the triangle $T':=bigl(x,0,z)bigm$ as domain for the two-dimensional outer integral. Note that for any point $(x,y,z)in T$ one necessarily has $(x,0,z)in T'$. Given a point $(x,0,z)in T'$ we now have to determine the set of $y$ for which $(x,y,z)in T$. Looking at $(1)$ we see that this is the $y$-interval $0leq yleq z$. We therefore obtain
$$eqalignint_T z>rm d(x,y,z)&=int_T' zleft(int_0^z dyright)>rm d(x,z)=int_T'z^2> rm d(x,z)cr &=int_0^1 z^2left(int_0^1-z dxright)dz=int_0^1(z^2-z^3)>dzcr &=1over12 .cr $$

    From $(1)$ we infer that automatically $zgeq0$ in all points of $T$. We therefore choose the triangle $T':=bigl(x,0,z)bigm$ as domain for the two-dimensional outer integral. Note that for any point $(x,y,z)in T$ one necessarily has $(x,0,z)in T'$. Given a point $(x,0,z)in T'$ we now have to determine the set of $y$ for which $(x,y,z)in T$. Looking at $(1)$ we see that this is the $y$-interval $0leq yleq z$. We therefore obtain
    $$eqalignint_T z>rm d(x,y,z)&=int_T' zleft(int_0^z dyright)>rm d(x,z)=int_T'z^2> rm d(x,z)cr &=int_0^1 z^2left(int_0^1-z dxright)dz=int_0^1(z^2-z^3)>dzcr &=1over12 .cr $$
