Scale the ellipsoid to a unit ball using
with , and . This is spherical coordinates followed by a diagonal linear transformation, so the Jacobian determinant is . The required volume integral is
Reverse the order in the nonnegative double integral, using and . For , an antiderivative in is . Thus
Let denote the requested improper integral. Its numerator is near zero, so its apparent singularity is removable; it also decays at infinity. We may therefore separate the preceding expression into the convergent integrals
It follows that
The two terms divided separately by would each have a divergent integral at zero; the cancellation in their difference is essential.
For fixed , integrate first over :
The integrand is nonnegative, so this order of the double integral is legitimate even before its finiteness is known. Applying the scaled Gaussian integral yields
The region is an unbounded wedge in the first quadrant, lying between the rays and . Both boundaries and the origin are included. For integration in the opposite order, the same region is with .

. Details.
This is a Bernoulli differential equation with exponent four. On the nonzero branch selected by , put . Multiplying the original equation by gives
Its integrating factor is , so and . The initial condition sets . Thus
This is the maximal real solution interval containing zero: the solution diverges as . The real negative branch of the same algebraic formula for is disconnected from this initial-value solution. The original equation also admits , but it does not satisfy the prescribed initial condition.
For the solution through , work on the connected domain . While , separation of variables gives
The initial condition gives , so
The restriction matters: the unsquared equation requires . The solution reaches zero at . Continuing the squared formula beyond that point would give a positive derivative, contradicting the original negative square-root right-hand side.
The nonnegative forward continuation is instead
The two pieces join with , and both satisfy the original equation. Because the right-hand side is nonpositive for , a nonnegative solution cannot leave zero in the forward direction. This is a finite-time extinction phenomenon for a separable differential equation.
The two independently computed answers agree:
This verifies the divergence theorem. Its hypotheses hold because the field is smooth and the prism has a closed piecewise smooth boundary with consistently outward normals.
Use the prism bounds read from the PDF diagram and the divergence from part (ii):
Set in the inner evaluation. Since , the inner integral is . Therefore
The PDF diagram specifies the prism as
Its triangular horizontal cross-section has area four. Calculate the outward flux on each face using its outward normal vector.
On , the normal is and , so the flux is zero. On , the normal is , giving
On the sloping vertical face , the outward normal is proportional to . Both and vanish there, while is tangent to the face, so the flux is zero.
On the bottom , the normal is and , so the flux is minus the base area, namely . On the top , , so the flux is zero. Thus all five face values and their sum are
The Cartesian curl is
Each component measures circulation in the plane perpendicular to its corresponding coordinate axis.
Use , so . Up to an overall minus sign, the differential form becomes
Seeking a monomial integrating factor , equality of mixed derivatives gives
These give , so the integrating factor in the original variables is
One may verify exactness directly without relying on invertibility of the cosine substitution:
Thus the implicit first integral is
The equivalence with the differential equation holds directly where . The zero solution is included at . At a zero of , the original graph equation requires for any finite differentiable continuation, so no extra finite graph with nonzero is created by multiplying by the vanishing factor. If one allows vertical parametrized integral curves of the differential form, is also such a curve and is already contained in the level set .
Write the differential form as , with the coefficients as printed. A monomial integrating factor can be found from . The exactness condition gives
Solving yields . Thus, on ,
After multiplication, the differential form is
Hence the implicit solutions are
The branch was excluded by the integrating factor but satisfies the original equation and must be restored. On any graph branch with , differentiation of the boxed first integral recovers the original differential equation.
Under independence, there are two disjoint ways to score two goals in total. One game can contain both, with probability
Alternatively, two different games can contain one goal each, with probability
Adding gives
This also follows from the Sum of independent Poisson random variables: the season total is Poisson with parameter , whose probability at two is .
Continue with the independent-games assumption from part (i). Exactly one of the ten games must have one goal, while the other nine have zero. The ten choices of the scoring game are disjoint, so
The intended season calculation needs the additional assumption that scores in different games are independent random variables. The printed statement gives their common one-game distribution but does not explicitly state independence; identical marginals alone do not determine season probabilities.
Under independence, each game has probability of at least one goal, so
Without independence this product is not determined by the supplied marginal distribution.
The zero-goal term contributes nothing to the expected value. Shift the summation index in the remaining terms:
The exponential series justifies the convergent reindexing. Thus the parameter is the mean goals per game.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
