1. [10 pts] Determine if the following vector fields are conservative:


3
𝐅⃗ = 〈2𝑥𝑦 2 + 3𝑦 + cos 𝑥 , 2𝑥 2 𝑦 + 3𝑥 + 3𝑦 2 𝑒 𝑦 〉 ⃗⃗ = 〈𝑦𝑧, 𝑥𝑧 + 𝑧, 𝑥𝑦 + 2𝑦〉
𝐆
That is, determine if there exists a scalar function with the vector field as its gradient.
3
𝐅⃗ = 〈2𝑥𝑦 2 + 3𝑦 + cos 𝑥 , 2𝑥 2 𝑦 + 3𝑥 + 3𝑦 2 𝑒 𝑦 〉
Let us see if we can construct a scalar function that will produce this as a gradient.
𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓
If we had such a function 𝑓, its gradient would be: ∇𝑓 = 〈𝜕𝑥 , 𝜕𝑦〉. So let us try to antidifferentiate the
component functions appropriately and see what we come up with:
∫ 2𝑥𝑦 2 + 3𝑦 + cos 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 2 𝑦 2 + 3𝑥𝑦 + sin 𝑥
3 3
∫ 2𝑥 2 𝑦 + 3𝑥 + 3𝑦 2 𝑒 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑥 2 𝑦 2 + 3𝑥𝑦 + 𝑒 𝑦
Now if our function exists, it is composed of several parts. There can be terms which involve both
variables, and others that have only one, and so on.
In the end, it should look something like this: 𝑓 = 𝐴(𝑥, 𝑦) + 𝐵(𝑥) + 𝐶(𝑦)
Any terms which involve more than one variable must occur in the appropriate antideratives in exactly
the same way each time. That is the case here. So our potential function does exist, and it looks like
3
this: 𝑓 = 𝑥 2 𝑦 2 + 3𝑥𝑦 + sin 𝑥 + 𝑒 𝑦

⃗⃗ = 〈𝑦𝑧, 𝑥𝑧 + 𝑧, 𝑥𝑦 + 2𝑦〉
𝐆
Let us see if we can construct a scalar function that will produce this as a gradient.
𝜕𝑔 𝜕𝑔 𝜕𝑔
If we had such a function 𝑔, its gradient would be: ∇𝑔 = 〈𝜕𝑥 , 𝜕𝑦 , 𝜕𝑧 〉. So let us try to antidifferentiate
the component functions appropriately and see what we come up with:
∫ 𝑦𝑧𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥𝑦𝑧
∫ 𝑥𝑧 + 𝑧𝑑𝑦 = 𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑦𝑧
∫ 𝑥𝑦 + 2𝑦𝑑𝑧 = 𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 2𝑦𝑧
Now if our function exists, it is composed of several parts. There can be terms which involve all three
variables, some that involve only two, others that have only one, and so on. In the end, it should look
something like this: 𝑔 = 𝐴(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) + 𝐵(𝑥, 𝑦) + 𝐶(𝑦, 𝑧) + 𝐷(𝑥, 𝑧) + 𝐸(𝑥) + 𝐹(𝑦) + 𝐺(𝑧)
Any terms which involve more than one variable must occur in the appropriate antideratives in exactly
the same way each time. That is clearly not the case here. There is a shared xyz term that is consistent,
however the terms with only y’s and z’s do not match in both equations. One has “𝑦𝑧” and the other
has “2𝑦𝑧”. These terms must be identical if the field were conservative, so we can conclude that 𝐆 ⃗⃗ is
not conservative and a potential function does not exist.
2. [10 pts] Evaluate the following line integrals by parameterizing the curves:

∫𝐶 8𝑥𝑑𝑠 where 𝐶 is the arc of the parabola 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 from (0,0) to (2,4)

Since 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 , then we can parameterize the curve by letting 𝑥 = 𝑡 and 𝑦 = 𝑡 2 for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 2


Since 𝑥 = 𝑡 ⟹ 𝑑𝑥 = 1𝑑𝑡 and 𝑦 = 𝑡 2 ⇒ 𝑑𝑦 = 2𝑡𝑑𝑡,
then 𝑑𝑠 = √(𝑑𝑥)2 + (𝑑𝑦)2 = √(1𝑑𝑡)2 + (2𝑡𝑑𝑡)2 = √1 + 4𝑡 2 𝑑𝑡

∫𝐶 𝑦 3 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑦 where 𝐶 is the arc of the parabola 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑦 2 from (0, −1) to (0,1)

Since 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑦 2 , then we can parameterize the curve by letting 𝑦 = 𝑡 and 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑡 2 for −1 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 1


Since 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑡 2 ⟹ 𝑑𝑥 = −2𝑡𝑑𝑡 and 𝑦 = 𝑡 ⇒ 𝑑𝑦 = 1𝑑𝑡,
𝑡=1 𝑡=1 𝑡=1
∫𝑡=−1 𝑦 3 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑦=∫𝑡=−1(𝑡)3 (−2𝑡𝑑𝑡) + (1 − 𝑡 2 )2 (1𝑑𝑡)=∫𝑡=−1(−2𝑡 4 + (1 − 𝑡 2 )2 )𝑑𝑡=

∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ where 𝐅⃗ = 𝑒 𝑧 𝐢 + 𝑥𝑧𝐣 + (𝑥 + 𝑦)𝐤 and 𝐶 is given by 𝐫⃗(𝑡) = 𝑡 2 𝐢 + 𝑡 3 𝐣 − 𝑡𝐤 for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 1

Now 𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 always. Since we are told that 𝐫⃗(𝑡) = 𝑡 2 𝐢 + 𝑡 3 𝐣 − 𝑡𝐤 = 〈𝑡 2 , 𝑡 3 , −𝑡〉, then we know
that we can parameterize the curve by letting 𝑥 = 𝑡 2 and 𝑦 = 𝑡 3 and 𝑧 = −𝑡 for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 1
This means that 𝐅⃗(𝑡) = 𝑒 𝑧 𝐢 + 𝑥𝑧𝐣 + (𝑥 + 𝑦)𝐤 = 〈𝑒 𝑧 , 𝑥𝑧, 𝑥 + 𝑦〉 = 〈𝑒 −𝑡 , −𝑡 3 , 𝑡 2 + 𝑡 3 〉
Furthermore, since 𝑥 = 𝑡 2 ⟹ 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑡𝑑𝑡 and 𝑦 = 𝑡 3 ⇒ 𝑑𝑦 = 3𝑡 2 𝑑𝑡 and 𝑑𝑧 = −𝑡 ⇒ 𝑑𝑧 = −1𝑑𝑡
then 𝑑𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑑𝑥, 𝑑𝑦, 𝑑𝑧〉 = 〈2𝑡, 3𝑡 2 , −1〉𝑑𝑡

3. [10 pts] Evaluate the following line integrals by parameterizing the curves:

 xyds
C
where C is the segment of the unit circle x 2  y 2  1 from the points 1,0 to 0,1

and then a line segment from the point 0,1 to  1,2 


Since the segments look like this:
It will need to be parameterized in two parts.
The first part will be the portion from the unit
circle: x 2  y 2  1, so let x  cos t and y  sin t . Thus 0  t  2 . Furthermore
dx   sin tdt and dy  cos tdt , which means that
ds   sin t 2  cos t 2 dt  sin 2 t  cos 2 t dt  1dt  1dt .

Thus

The second part will be the portion from the line segment. So let x  0  1 p   p and
y  1  1 p  1  p . Thus 0  p  1 for this segment. Furthermore dx  1dp and
dy  1dp , which means that dS   12  12 dp  1  1dp  2dp  1dp .
Thus

(Note that we could have parameterized the curve with: p  t  2 if we wished to keep
the same parameterization going, but this would have given us: x  t  2 and
y  1  t  2 with 2  t  2 2 , which make the second integration far more complicated
and does not change the final result.)

and C is the part of y  x3 from the points 0,0  to 1,1
Since y  x3 , then let x  t and y  t 3 . Thus 0  t  1 . Furthermore dx  1dt and
dy  3t 2dt , which means that r  x, y  t , t 3 and therefore dr  x, y  1,3t 2 .

4. [10 pts] Use the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals to evaluate the following integral:
∫𝐶(2𝑦𝑧 + 2𝑥 + 𝑒 𝑦 )𝑑𝑥 + (2𝑥𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑒 𝑧 )𝑑𝑦 + (2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + 𝜋 cos(𝜋𝑧))𝑑𝑧
where 𝐶 is the line segment parameterized by the function 𝐫⃗(𝑡) = 4𝑡𝐢 + (2 − 2𝑡)𝐣 + 3𝑡𝐤 for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 1.

Since the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals applies to vector fields that are conservative, we
should be able to find a scalar function whose gradient is the vector field we are trying to integrate.
Since ∫𝐶 𝑃𝑑𝑥 + 𝑄𝑑𝑦 + 𝑅𝑑𝑧 = ∫𝐶〈𝑃, 𝑄, 𝑅〉 ∙ 〈𝑑𝑥, 𝑑𝑦, 𝑑𝑧〉 = ∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗, then our vector function is:
𝐅⃗ = 〈2𝑦𝑧 + 2𝑥 + 𝑒 𝑦 , 2𝑥𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑒 𝑧 , 2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + 𝜋 cos(𝜋𝑧)〉
Let us see if we can construct a scalar function that will produce this as a gradient.
𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓
If we had such a function 𝑓, its gradient would be: ∇𝑓 = 〈𝜕𝑥 , 𝜕𝑦 , 𝜕𝑧 〉. So let us try to antidifferentiate
the component functions appropriately and see what we come up with:
∫ 2𝑦𝑧 + 2𝑥 + 𝑒 𝑦 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥 2 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦
∫ 2𝑥𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑒 𝑧 𝑑𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧
∫ 2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + 𝜋 cos(𝜋𝑧) 𝑑𝑧 = 2𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + sin(𝜋𝑧)
Now our function is composed of several parts. There can be terms which involve all three variables,
some that involve only two, others that have only one, and so on. In the end, it should look something
like this: 𝑓 = 𝐴(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) + 𝐵(𝑥, 𝑦) + 𝐶(𝑦, 𝑧) + 𝐷(𝑥, 𝑧) + 𝐸(𝑥) + 𝐹(𝑦) + 𝐺(𝑧)
Comparing this to our antiderivatives, we get: 𝑓 = 2𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + 0 + 𝑥 2 + 0 + sin(𝜋𝑧)
And so we have shown that 𝐅⃗ is conservative and that it is the gradient of the potential function
𝑓 = 2𝑥𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥𝑒 𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 𝑧 + 𝑥 2 + sin(𝜋𝑧)
The Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals tells us that to integrate a conservative function, we simply
need to evaluate the potential function at the endpoints of the path. The actual path itself does not
matter, only the starting and ending positions do. Thus, we look at the parameterized curve 𝐶 and
determine where the endpoints of the path are:
Since 𝐫⃗(𝑡) = 4𝑡𝐢 + (2 − 2𝑡)𝐣 + 3𝑡𝐤 and 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 1,
then at 𝑡 = 0 we get: 𝐫⃗(0) = 0𝐢 + (2 − 0)𝐣 + 0𝐤 = 〈0,2,0〉
and at 𝑡 = 1 we get: 𝐫⃗(1) = 4𝐢 + (2 − 2)𝐣 + 3𝐤 = 〈4,0,3〉
We evaluate the potential function at these endpoints, which gives us:
𝑓(4,0,3) = 2(4)(0)(3) + 4𝑒 0 + 0𝑒 3 + 42 + sin(3𝜋) = 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 + 0 = 20
𝑓(0,2,0) = 2(0)(2)(0) + 0𝑒 2 + 2𝑒 0 + 02 + sin(0) = 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 2
𝑡=𝑏
Thus we know that: ∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ = ∫𝑡=𝑎 ∇𝑓 ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ = 𝑓|𝑡=𝑏
𝑡=𝑎 = 𝑓(𝑏) − 𝑓(𝑎) = 20 − 2 = 18

5. [10 pts] Use the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals to evaluate the following integral:
∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ where 𝐅⃗(𝑥, 𝑦) = (2𝑒 2𝑥 sin 𝑦) 𝐢 + (𝑒 2𝑥 cos 𝑦) 𝐣
where C is a line segment from the point 1,0 to the point 3, 2 

6. [10 pts] Use Green’s Theorem to evaluate the integral ∫𝐶 2𝑥 2 𝑦 2 𝑑𝑥 − 𝑥 3 𝑦𝑑𝑦 where 𝐶 is the arc of the
parabola 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 from (−1,1) to (1,1) and then a line connecting (1,1) to (−1,1).
Now the region looks like this:
It is obviously a loop, so we apply Green’s Theorem
and rewrite the integral as:

11. [10 pts] Find the area of the part of the surface 𝑧 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 that lies above the triangle in the xy-plane
with vertices at (0,0) and (1,0) and (1,2).

The region in question looks like this: We can project it “down” toward
the x-axis to get:

Therefore the problem will end with limits along the x-axis from 𝑥 = 0 to 𝑥 = 1.
The inner limits will be determined by the top and bottom edges of the shape,
which are the slanted line 𝑦 = 2𝑥 and the horizontal line 𝑦 = 0.
𝜕𝑧 2 𝜕𝑧 2
To evaluate the surface area, we need to evaluate the integral: ∬ √1 + (𝜕𝑥) + (𝜕𝑦) 𝑑𝑦𝑑𝑥

Since 𝜕𝑥 = 2𝑥 and 𝜕𝑦 = 2,
𝑥=1 𝑦=2𝑥 𝑥=1 𝑦=2𝑥

12. [10 pts] Evaluate the surface integral ∬𝑆 𝑧𝑑𝑆 where 𝑆 is the part of the paraboloid 𝑧 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 that lies
under the plane 𝑧 = 4

First we begin by parameterizing the surface. Points on the paraboloid can be written as:
𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 〉 = 〈𝑟 cos 𝜃 , 𝑟 sin 𝜃, 𝑟 2 〉
with limits as 0 ≤ 𝑟 ≤ 2 (since 𝑧 = 4 ⟹ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 4 ⟹ 𝑟 2 = 4 ⟹ 𝑟 = 2) and 0 ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 2𝜋

Now to find 𝑑𝑆 = |𝐫⃗𝑢 × 𝐫⃗𝑣 | = |𝐫⃗𝑟 × 𝐫⃗𝜃 |


𝐫⃗𝑟 = 〈cos 𝜃 , sin 𝜃, 2𝑟〉
𝐫⃗𝜃 = 〈−𝑟 sin 𝜃 , 𝑟 cos 𝜃 , 0〉

|𝐫⃗𝑟 × 𝐫⃗𝜃 | = √(−2𝑟 2 cos 𝜃)2 + (−2𝑟 2 sin 𝜃)2 + (𝑟)2 = √4𝑟 4 + 𝑟 2 = 𝑟√4𝑟 2 + 1

Thus our integral becomes:

⃗⃗𝑑𝑆 (which can also be written as ∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗)
13. [10 pts] Evaluate the surface integral ∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝐧
where 𝐅⃗ = 𝑥𝑦 𝐢 + 𝑦𝑧 𝐣 + 𝑥𝑧 𝐤 and 𝑆 is the part of the paraboloid 𝑧 = 4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 with upward
orientation that lives above the square with 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 1

First we begin by parameterizing the surface.


Since the surface is a part of the paraboloid with 𝑧 = 4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 , we can write points on the surface as:
𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 〉

Thus our function is really: 𝐅⃗ = 〈𝑥𝑦, 𝑦𝑧, 𝑥𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥𝑦, 𝑦(4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 ), 𝑥(4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 )〉

We also need to make 𝑑𝐒⃗ = 𝐫⃗𝑢 × 𝐫⃗𝑣 = 𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦


Now since 𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 〉
with limits of 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 1
then we know that 𝐫⃗𝑥 = 〈1,0, −2𝑥〉
and 𝐫⃗𝑦 = 〈0,1, −2𝑦〉

𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 = |1 0 −2𝑥 |

𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 = 〈2𝑥, 2𝑦, 1〉
Observe that this vector points upward (as required) and we are ready to move on.

Thus
𝐅⃗ ∙ (𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 )
= 〈𝑥𝑦, 𝑦(4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 ), 𝑥(4 − 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 )〉 ∙ 〈2𝑥, 2𝑦, 1〉

⃗⃗𝑑𝑆 (which can also be written as ∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗)
14. [10 pts] Evaluate the surface integral∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝐧
where 𝐅⃗ = 𝑥𝑧 𝐢 − 2𝑦 𝐣 + 3𝑥 𝐤 and 𝑆 is the sphere 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 𝑧 2 = 4 with outward orientation
(Evaluate this integral by parameterizing the surface directly.)

First we begin by parameterizing the surface. Since the surface is a sphere of radius 2, we can
parameterize it by using the spherical coordinate equations with 𝜌 = 2:
𝑥 = 2 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜃
𝑦 = 2 sin 𝜙 sin 𝜃
𝑧 = 2 cos 𝜙
Thus our function is really: 𝐅⃗ = 〈𝑥𝑧, −2𝑦, 3𝑥〉 = 〈4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , −4 sin 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 6sin 𝜙 cos 𝜃〉

We also need to make 𝑑𝐒⃗ = 𝐫⃗𝑢 × 𝐫⃗𝑣 = 𝐫⃗𝜃 × 𝐫⃗𝜙


Now since 𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈2 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , 2 sin 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 2 cos 𝜙〉
with limits of 0 ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 2𝜋 and 0 ≤ 𝜙 ≤ 𝜋
then we know that 𝐫⃗𝜃 = 〈−2 sin 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 2 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , 0〉
and 𝐫⃗𝜙 = 〈2 cos 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , 2 cos 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , −2 sin 𝜙〉

= (−4 sin2 𝜙 cos 𝜃 − 0)𝐢 − (4 sin2 𝜙 sin 𝜃 − 0)𝐣 + (−4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙 sin2 𝜃 − 4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙 cos 2 𝜃)𝐤
𝐫⃗𝜃 × 𝐫⃗𝜙 = 〈−4 sin2 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , −4 sin2 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , −4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙〉
Observe that this vector points inward (since the x, y, and z-coordinates) are all negative. We wanted the
outward facing normal, which means that we should have done the cross product in the other order.
However, reversing the order of the cross product only introduces a negative sign to all of the coordinates, so
that will save us a great deal of work.
Then 𝐫⃗𝜙 × 𝐫⃗𝜃 = −(𝐫⃗𝜃 × 𝐫⃗𝜙 ) = 〈4 sin2 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , 4 sin2 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙〉
Thus 𝐅⃗ ∙ (𝐫⃗𝜙 × 𝐫⃗𝜃 )
= 〈4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , −4 sin 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 6sin 𝜙 cos 𝜃〉 ∙ 〈4 sin2 𝜙 cos 𝜃 , 4 sin2 𝜙 sin 𝜃 , 4 sin 𝜙 cos 𝜙〉

15. [10 pts] Use Stokes’ Theorem to evaluate the integral ∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ where 𝐅⃗ = 𝑥𝑦 𝐢 + 𝑦𝑧 𝐣 + 𝑥𝑧 𝐤
and 𝐶 is the triangle with vertices at (1,0,0) and (0,1,0) and (0,0,1) with counterclockwise orientation
when viewed from above.
The instructions tell us to use the Stokes’ Theorem. So we need to rewrite the problem:
∫𝐶 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐫⃗ = ∬𝑆 curl(𝐅⃗) ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗, which we can do since 𝐶 is a closed loop.
(This also prevents us from having to deal with a line integral that is made of three segments, which we
would have to split into three separate problems and parameterize separately, which would be tedious.
Stokes’ Theorem lets us write everything as a single double integral, which would be preferable.)

𝑥𝑦 𝑦𝑧 𝑥𝑧
= (0 − 𝑦)𝐢 − (𝑧 − 0)𝐣 + (0 − 𝑥)𝐤 = −𝑦𝐢 − 𝑧𝐣 − 𝑥𝐤
Thus curl (𝐅⃗) = 〈−𝑦, −𝑧, −𝑥〉
Now we need to parameterize the surface.
The surface is a part of the plane 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 1, which can be rewritten as 𝑧 = 1 − 𝑥 − 𝑦
Thus, we can write points on the surface as:
𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 1 − 𝑥 − 𝑦〉
Thus we see that we can parameterize our formula purely in terms of the variables x and y, eliminating z.
This allows us to rewrite our function as: curl (𝐅⃗) = 〈−𝑦, −𝑧, −𝑥〉 = 〈−𝑦, −1 + 𝑥 + 𝑦, −𝑥〉
We also need to make 𝑑𝐒⃗ = 𝐫⃗𝑢 × 𝐫⃗𝑣 = 𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦
Now since 𝐫⃗ = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧〉 = 〈𝑥, 𝑦, 1 − 𝑥 − 𝑦〉 then we know that 𝐫⃗𝑥 = 〈1,0, −1〉 and 𝐫⃗𝑦 = 〈0,1, −1〉
𝐢 𝐣 𝐤
𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 = |1 0 −1| = (0 + 1)𝐢 − (−1 − 0)𝐣 + (1 − 0)𝐤
0 1 −1
𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 = 〈1,1,1〉
Observe that this vector points upward (as we would expect from the counterclockwise orientation) and we
are ready to move on.
Thus curl(𝐅⃗) ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗ = curl(𝐅⃗) ∙ (𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 )
= 〈−𝑦, −1 + 𝑥 + 𝑦, −𝑥〉 ∙ 〈1,1,1〉
= −𝑦 − 1 + 𝑥 + 𝑦 − 𝑥
= −1
And all we need to do now is find our limits to be able to finish the problem.

Now our surface looks like this: Which lives above a region in
xy-plane that looks like this:

This means that our integral is really: ∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗ = ∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ (𝐫⃗𝑥 × 𝐫⃗𝑦 ) 𝑑𝑦𝑑𝑥
We can orient this integration so that it ends along the x-axis with limits of 𝑥 = 0 and 𝑥 = 1, which means
that our y-limits will be the upper boundary which is the line 𝑦 = 1 − 𝑥 and the lower boundary is 𝑦 = 0
𝑥=1 𝑦=1−𝑥

bounded by the parabolic cylinder 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 and the planes 𝑦 = 0 and 𝑥 = 1 and 𝑧 = 3 and and 𝑧 = 0 with

The instructions tell us to use the Divergence Theorem. So we need to rewrite the problem:
∬𝑆 𝐅⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐒⃗ = ∭𝑉 div(𝐅⃗) 𝑑𝑉, which we can do since 𝑆 is a closed surface which looks like this:
(This also prevents us from having to deal with a surface integral that is made of multiple
edges. This particular one has five different edge surfaces, which we would have to split into
separate problems, parameterizing each, which would take a very long time.
The Divergence Theorem lets us write everything as a single triple integral,
which is a tremendous improvement.)

It will be tedious to find the limits of integration in xyz-form, so we transform our integral into spherical
