The original region of integration defines a <strong>circular disk<\/strong> of radius 2 in the xy-plane, and a height that depends on the distance from the origin, namely $z = 2\\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$. Because the integrand contains $xz$, which becomes $r \\cos\\theta \\cdot z$ in cylindrical coordinates, we observe the presence of a trigonometric term, $\\cos\\theta$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cylindrical coordinates are useful in this case because the symmetry of the region (a disk) matches the natural structure of cylindrical systems. By expressing $x = r\\cos\\theta$, $y = r\\sin\\theta$, and $dx\\,dy = r\\,dr\\,d\\theta$, we transform the region into polar bounds, greatly simplifying the integration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After converting the triple integral, the integrand becomes $r^2 \\cos\\theta \\cdot z$, and the limits become $r \\in [0, 2]$, $\\theta \\in [0, 2\\pi]$, and $z \\in [0, 2r]$. Integrating with respect to $z$ gives $2r^2$. Continuing with respect to $r$, the integral becomes $\\frac{64}{5}$. However, when integrating the outermost function $\\cos\\theta$ from $0$ to $2\\pi$, we get zero because $\\cos\\theta$ is symmetric about the y-axis and cancels out over a full period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cancellation is key\u2014despite nonzero inner integrals, the final result is zero due to symmetry. Therefore, the value of the integral is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$<br>\\boxed{0}<br>$$<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluate the integral by changing to cylindrical coordinates.
