Concepts and Vocabulary
True or False A solid \(E\) in space is called \(xy\)-simple if it is enclosed on the top by a surface \(z=z_{2}(x, y)\) and on the bottom by a surface \(z=z_{1}(x, y)\), where \(z_{1}\leq z_{2}\) and \( z_{1}\) and \(z_{2}\) are continuous, and the sides of \(E\) are a cylinder whose intersection with the \(xy\)-plane forms a closed, bounded region \(R.\)
True or False The region \(R\) resulting from the projection onto the \(xy\)-plane of an \(xy\)-simple solid \(E\) is both \(x\)-simple and \(y\)-simple.
