How u r evaluating integrals ?
Will it not give negative gamma function ?
Really amazing proof. Can I ask how you got that origin idea to use e^-ax. Please reply.
That "ultimately" is very slow. I was hoping that the calculations would be much easier in an elegant proof.
Rather than struggling with the singularities (the details behind the word "ultimately") in Efren's proof, it is easier to do this directly: ∫ 0 1 x + y + z 3 d z ∫ 0 1 ( ∫ 0 1 x + y + z 3 d z ) d y ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 x + y + z 3 d x d y d z = [ 3 ln ( x + y + z ) ] z = 0 1 = 3 ln ( x + y + 1 ) − 3 ln ( x + y ) = ∫ 0 1 [ 3 ln ( x + y + 1 ) − 3 ln ( x + y ) ] d y = 3 [ ( x + y + 1 ) ln ( x + y + 1 ) − ( x + y + 1 ) − ( x + y ) ln ( x + y ) + ( x + y ) ] y = 0 1 = 3 ( x + 2 ) ln ( x + 2 ) − 6 ( x + 1 ) ln ( x + 1 ) + 3 x ln x = 3 ∫ 0 1 [ ( x + 2 ) ln ( x + 2 ) − 2 ( x + 1 ) ln ( x + 1 ) + x ln x ] d x = 3 [ 2 1 ( x + 2 ) 2 ln ( x + 2 ) − 4 1 ( x + 2 ) 2 − ( x + 1 ) 2 ln ( x + 1 ) + 2 1 ( x + 1 ) 2 + 2 1 x 2 ln x − 4 1 x 2 ] 0 1 = 3 ( ( 2 9 ln 3 − 4 9 − 4 ln 2 + 2 − 4 1 ) − ( 2 ln 2 − 1 + 2 1 ) ) = 3 ( 2 9 ln 3 − 4 ln 2 − 2 ln 2 ) = 2 9 ln 1 6 2 7
Not a good question.

I saw the solution without answering as I thought there would be a more elegant solution. Now I will try the general version.
Not really, both are equally maddening, but at the very least, Efren's proof atleast helps in the bigger, next problem.
In step nö 4 -(x+y+1) + (x+y)= -1 I think you missed it

No I did not miss it. Since it is constant, it cancels out when we evaluate at y = 1 and y = 0 and subtract...

Sorry my bad, I can't believe I did that silly mistake

This won't be a thorough solution, but rather of rundown of the steps needed to do to be able to solve the problem. Other solutions are very welcome :)
Let us take note that ∫ 0 ∞ e − a x d x = a 1 , right?
From this, we can infer that the integrand could be interpreted as the definite integral of a dummy variable t , such as
x + y + z 3 = ∫ 0 ∞ e − 3 x + y + z t d t
This now changes the integral to
∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 x + y + z 3 d x d y d z = ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 ∫ 0 1 d x d y d z ∫ 0 ∞ e − 3 x + y + z t d t
We can now change the order of integration to simplify this to
∫ 0 ∞ ( ∫ 0 1 e − 3 t x d x ) 3 d t
∫ 0 ∞ ( 3 t 1 − e − 3 t ) 3 d t
∫ 0 ∞ ( t 3 ( 1 − e − 3 t ) ) 3 d t
∫ 0 ∞ t 3 2 7 − t 3 8 1 e − t / 3 + t 3 8 1 e − 2 t / 3 − t 3 2 7 e − t d t
This will ultimately give us 2 9 ln 1 6 2 7 , such that 9 + 2 + 2 7 + 1 6 = 5 4 .
