13.7 problem 8
Hi Dr. Taylor,
I was wondering if you might help me get started on this
problem. I'm having some difficulty figuring out the parameterization as
well as the bounds.
Thank you,

First of all the cylinder x^2+y^2=16 has radius 4 and is parallel to the z axis. Then the planes x+y+z=3 and x+y+z=7 are parallel to each other, and you can solve these for z as z=3-x-y and
z=7-x-y. In particular you can get from first plane to the other by increasing z by 4. Then points on the cylinder can be specified by writing x=4 cos(u), y=4 sin(u), while the intersection of the cylinder with the first plane also specifies z=3-4 cos(u)-4 sin(u) while the intersection with second plane specifies instead that z=7-4 cos(u)-4 sin(u). You can put this all together to get a parameterization of the space on the cylinder between the two planes by saying
x=4 cos(u), y=4 sin(u), z=3+v-4 cos(u)-4 sin(u)
where 0≤u≤2π and 0≤v≤4.
