$int_{x^2+y^2+z^2 leq 1}frac{dx,dy,dz}{x^2+y^2+(z-2)^2}$

$begingroup$


I'm trying to calculate the integral $$int_{x^2+y^2+z^2 leq 1}frac{dx,dy,dz}{x^2+y^2+(z-2)^2}.$$



I've tried in two methods:



Regular spherical coordinates, but this leads to really unfun integrals and logarithms with negative numbers inside them and other beasts I'd rather avoid.



The other method was to try shifted spherical coordinates, $x = rsin(theta)cos(phi), y=rsin(theta)sin(phi)$ but $z-2 = rcos(theta)$.



Now the integral is very easy but finding the limits of integration is tougher. We still have $0 < theta < pi$ and $0 < phi < 2pi$, I think, but the limits on $r$ are harder.

At the very limit of the domain of integration we have $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 1$, so $r^2+4rcos(theta)+4 = 1$, so we need to have $r^2+4rcos(theta) + 3 = 0$.



This happens when $$r = frac{-4cos(theta)pmsqrt{16cos^2(theta)-12}}{2}.$$ I don't know how this helps us or if I'm going in the right direction.



The unfun way:



$int_{x^2+y^2+z^2 leq 1}frac{dxdydz}{x^2+y^2+(z-2)^2} = int_{0}^{1}int_{0}^{pi}int_{0}^{2pi}frac{r^2sin(theta)}{r^2-4rcos(theta)+4}dphi dtheta dr = 2pi int_{0}^{1}int_{0}^{pi}frac{r^2sin(theta)}{r^2-4rcos(theta)+4}dtheta dr $



Use $u-$substitution $u=cos(theta)$ to get:



$2pi int_{0}^{1}int_{0}^{pi}frac{r^2sin(theta)}{r^2-4rcos(theta)+4}dtheta dr =-2pi int_{0}^{1}int_{1}^{-1}frac{r^2}{r^2-4ru+4}dudr = 2piint_{0}^{1}int_{-1}^{1}frac{r^2}{r^2-4ru+r}dudr = 2piint_{0}^{1}r^2[frac{ln(r^2-4ru+4)}{-4r}]_{-1}^{1}dr = -frac{pi}{2}int_{0}^{1}r(ln(r^2-4r+4) - ln(r^2+4r+4))dr=-piint_{0}^{1}r(ln(|r-2|)-ln(r+2))dr$



Is this the right way? seems very unpleasant...

Consider the integral $$I(a, b) = int_{x^2 + y^2 le a} frac{dx , dy, }{x^2 + y^2 + b}$$ By changing to polar coordinates, we compute $$I(a,b) = int_{0}^{2pi} int_{0}^{sqrt{a}} frac{r , dr, dtheta}{r^2 + b} = pi ln(a/b + 1)$$ Your desired integral is $$int_{-1}^{1} I(1-z^2, (z-2)^2) , dz = pi int_{-1}^{1} lnleft(frac{1-z^2 + (z-2)^2}{(z-2)^{2}} right), dz = pi int_{-1}^{1} ln(5-4z) - 2ln(|z-2|) , dz$$ which one can compute by elementary techniques (e.g. integration by parts).
