This may seem oddly contradictory to another current question which asks for harder integrals. Let me start off by saying that inn asking that question I was not asserting that my skill level was high enough to solve the questions given, just that I was interested in aggregating a list.
That said, I'm having trouble with the following integral which I've been told is solvable under a change of integration order but I fail to see how: $$ \int_0^2\int_0^4\int_z^2 yze^{x^3}\text{d}x\text{d}y\text{d}z $$ So, the region of integration in question is a triangle-based prism, with base equal to the triangle in the $xz$ plane bounded by $x=2-z$, $z=0$ and $x=0$, and protruding in the positive $y$ axis to $y=4$.
The problem is that $e^{x^3}$. We need an $x^2$ in the integrand in order to deal with that.
First, we know that the $y$ value is independent of the $x$ and $z$ values, meaning that our integral is equal to $$ \underbrace{\left(\int_0^4 y\text{d}y\right)}_{=8}\left(\int_0^2\int_z^2 ze^{x^3}\text{d}x\text{d}z\right) $$
So we should only have to switch $x$ and $z$: $$ \int_0^2\int_z^2ze^{x^3}\text{d}x\text{d}z = \int_0^2\int_0^{2-x}ze^{x^3}\text{d}z\text{d}x = \frac12\int_0^2(2-x)^2e^{x^3}\text{d}x $$
This last integral, however, has a terribly ugly closed form, even though the original integral supposedly has the closed form $4/3(e^8-1)$.
What exactly am I doing wrong? I can't find the fault in my logic.
