The volume of the region bounded by 1 6 x 2 + 8 1 y 4 + 6 4 z 6 = 1 can be expressed, in simplest terms, as E × Γ ( G F ) Γ ( B A ) Γ ( D C ) π , where A , B , C , D , E , F and G are positive integers , with g cd ( A , B ) = g cd ( C , D ) = g cd ( F , G ) = 1 .
If we know that B A , D C , G F < 1 , find A + B + C + D + E + F + G .

By symmetry,
\start e q u a t i o n V = 8 ∫ 0 4 1 ∫ 0 3 1 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 ) 1 / 4 2 1 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 − 8 1 y 4 ) 1 / 6 d y d x
= 4 ∫ 0 4 1 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 ) 1 / 6 d x ∫ 0 3 1 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 ) 1 / 4 ( 1 − 1 − 1 6 x 2 8 1 y 4 ) 1 / 6 d y
A substitution to get the integral into the form of the beta function.
u = 1 − 1 6 x 2 8 1 y 4 --> d u = 1 − 1 6 x 2 3 2 4 y 3 d y
V = 3 1 ∫ 0 1 / 4 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 ) 7 / 6 − 3 / 4 d x ∫ 0 1 u 1 / 4 − 1 ( 1 − u ) 7 / 6 − 1 d u
= 3 1 B ( 4 1 , 6 7 ) ∫ 0 1 / 4 ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 ) 5 / 1 2 d x
And again:
u = 1 6 x 2 --> d u = 3 2 x d x
V = 9 6 1 B ( 4 1 , 6 7 ) ∫ 0 1 4 u 1 / 2 − 1 ( 1 − u 1 7 / 1 2 − 1 ) d u
= 2 4 1 B ( 4 1 , 6 7 ) B ( 2 1 , 1 2 1 7 )
= 2 4 × Γ ( 1 2 1 7 ) Γ ( 1 2 2 3 ) Γ ( 4 1 ) Γ ( 6 7 ) Γ ( 2 1 ) Γ ( 1 2 1 7 ) = 2 4 × Γ ( 1 2 2 3 ) Γ ( 4 1 ) Γ ( 6 7 ) π = 2 4 × 1 2 1 1 Γ ( 1 2 1 1 ) 6 1 Γ ( 4 1 ) Γ ( 6 1 ) π = 1 3 2 × Γ ( 1 2 1 1 ) Γ ( 4 1 ) Γ ( 6 1 ) π
A + B + C + D + E + F + G = 1 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 1 3 2 + 1 1 + 1 2 = 1 6 7
