Find the volume of the solid bounded above by the sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 9$ and below by the paraboloid $8z = x^2 + y^2$
I'm having some trouble finding the correct limits of integration in cylindrical coordinates.
I appreciate some help. I'm prepping for my final and this is a question on an old final exam.
