A potential function f(x, y, z) satisfies f(x, y, z) 5x 4 z dx x 5 z + 1 (y, z) and and f(x, y, z) f(x, y, z) [4y 3 e 8z + 5 cos(5y)] dy y 4 e 8z + sin(5y) + 2 (x, z) [8y 4 e 8z + x 5 + 2] dz y 4 e 8z + x 5 z + 2z + 3 (x, y) Putting these altogether a potential function is f(x, y, z) y 4 e 8z + x 5 z + sin(5y) + 2z + 3. Evaluate the line integral y 4 x ds where is the portion circle x 2 + y 2 16 starting at ( 4, ) and ending at (, 4).

Then dx 2t dt and dy dt. Thus the integral becomes (4xy 7y 3 ) dx + 26xy 2 dy 1 2 1 2 [(4t 3 7t 3 )(2t) dt + 26(t 4 )(t)] dt 1 2t 4 dt 4t 5 4( 1) 5 4( 2) 5 124 2 5. (a) Evaluate the line integral ending at (, 3, ). (b) Evaluate the line integral 2yx dx + xz dy + z dz where is the line segment starting at (1, 3, 2) and 2yx dx + xz dy + z dz where is the line segment starting at (, 3, ) and ending at (1, 3, 2) (note this is the same line integral as in (a), but with the starting and ending points of (c) reversed). olution: (a) A parametrization of a line segment starting at (x, y, z ) and ending at (x 1, y 1, z 1 ) is x x + at, y y + bt and z z + ct for t 1, where a x 1 x, b y 1 y and c z 1 z. Thus the line segment is given by x 1 1t, y 3, z 2 + 2t, t 1. Therefore, dx 1 dt, dy dt and dz 2 dt, and thus the integral becomes 2yx dx + xz dy + z dz 1 1 2(3)(1 1t)( 1 dt) + dt + ( 2 + 2t)(2 dt) [1t 1] dt (b) The answer is 5, because it is the negative of the answer in (a) since the orientation on the curve was reversed, but everything else remained the same. 6.

(b) Find the work done by the force field F(x, y) as in (a), but along the straight line from (25, ) to (25, 5). olution: (a) Parametrize the parabola by x t 2 and y t for t 5. Then dr 2t, 1 dt and the work is given by W F dr 6y, 5xy 2 2t, 1 dt 5 5 6t, 5t 4 2t, 1 dt (12t 2 + 5t 4 ) dt 4t 3 + 1t 5 5 [2(4)(5) 3 + 2(1)(5) 5 ] 725 (b) Parametrize the line segment by x 25 and y t for t 5. Then dr, 1 dt and the work is given by W F dr 6y, 5xy 2, 1 dt 5 5 6t, 5(25)t 2, 1 dt (125t 2 ) dt 125 5 3 t3 2(125)(5) 3 /3 3125/3 7. (a) Find a potential function for the following conservative vector field F(x, y) ( 16x 7 y 7 6 ) i + 14x 8 y 6 j (b) Use the fundamental theorem of line integrals to evaluate F dr where F is the vector field in (a) and is the portion of the parabola y x 2 starting at (, ) and ending at (1, 1). olution: (a) First, f(x, y) (16x 7 y 7 6 ) dx 16 8 x8 y 7 6x + (y) 2x 8 y 7 6x + (y) similarly, f(x, y) 14x 8 y 6 dy 14 7 x8 y 7 + (x) 2x 8 y 7 + (x) Putting these together implies f(x, y) 2x 8 y 7 6x +. (b) Using the potential function from (a) we have F dr 2x 8 y 7 6x (1,1) (,) 2 6 4.
8. Verify that the vector field F(x, y, z) (4y + 3z)i + (4x 4y 5z)j + (3x 5y)k is conservative. (b) Evaluate the integral F dr along any piecewise smooth curve starting at (2, 1, ) and ending at (1, 1, 2) where F is the vector field in (a). olution: (a) Because M, N and P have continuous partial derivatives, it suffices to show that curlf, which we now do. i j k curlf x y z ( ())i + (3 3)j + (4 4)k. 4y + 3z 4x 4y 5z 3x 5y (b) A potential function f for F satisfies f(x, y, z) (4y + 3z) dx 4xy + 3xz + 1 (y, z) (4x 4y 5z) dy 4xy 2y 2 5yz + 2 (x, z) (3x 5y) dz 3xz 5yz + 3 (x, y) putting this together we find f(x, y, z) 4xy + 3xz 2y 2 5yz is a potential function for F. Thus using the the Fundamental theorem of line integrals we obtain F dr 4xy + 3xz 2y 2 5yz (1,1, 2) (2, 1,) [4(1)(1) + 3(1)( 2) 2(1) 2 5(1)( 2)] 6 ( 1) 16 [4(2)( 1) + 3(2)() 2( 1) 2 5( 1)()] 9. Evaluate the line integral (5y + x 2 ) dx + (5x e y2 7y) dy where is the bottom half of the circle x 2 + y 2 9 starting at ( 3, ) and ending at (3, ). Hint: if the integral is path independent, find a simpler path. olution: Notice that this is a path independent line integral since y (5y + x2 ) 5 ( ) 5x e y2 7y. x However, it is hard to find a potential function because of the difficulty in finding an antiderivative for e y2. Therefore, we choose a different path, namely, x t, y, for t 3 to t 3. For this, dx dt and
dy dt. Then the line integral becomes (5y + x 2 ) dx + (5x e y2 7y) dy 3 3 3 t3 3 (5() + t 2 ) dt + dt 3 2(33 ) 3 18 1. (a) Is the line integral 2yx dx + xz dy + z dz path independent? (b) Evaluate 2yx dx+xz dy+z dz where is the line segment starting at ( 2, 2, 3) and ending at ( 6, 2, 3). olution: (a) No, the line integral is not path independent, because the curl of F 2yxi + xzj + zk is not the zero vector, since, e.g. x (xz) (2yx) z 2x y (b) ince the line integral is not path independent, we will evaluate it directly. First, a parametrization of a line segment starting at (x, y, z ) and ending at (x 1, y 1, z 1 ) is x x + at, y y + bt and z z + ct for t 1, where a x 1 x, b y 1 y and c z 1 z. Thus the line segment is given by x 2 4t, y 2, z 3 + 6t, t 1. Therefore, dx 4 dt, dy dt and dz 6 dt, and thus the integral becomes 2yx dx + xz dy + z dz 1 1 2(2)( 2 4t)( 4 dt) + dt + ( 3 + 6t)(6 dt) [1t + 14] dt 64 11. Use Green s theorem to compute the work done by the force field F(x, y) 3y 2 i + 11xyj where is the boundary of the region bounded by the graphs of y, y x and x 2 oriented in a counter clockwise direction.

Use Green s theorem to evaluate the integral 5xy dx + (4x 2 3 sin y) dy where is the boundary of the trapezoid with vertices at (, ), (2, ), (2, 1) and (, 11), and is oriented in a counterclockwise direction. olution: A sketch of is given for reference. y 12 1 8 6 4 2 1 2 3 4 x With reference to the graph above, the upper boundary of the trapezoidal region is the line y 11 5x since it has y-intercept (, 11) and slope. Therefore, the region is given by x 2 and y
11 5x. Using Green s theorem, we find 5xy dx + (4x 2 3 sin y) dy ( x (4x2 3 sin y) ) y (5xy) da 2 11x 2 11x 2 33x2 2 (8x 5x) dy dx ( 2 3x dy dx 3xy (33x 15x 2 ) dx 15x3 3 2 y11x y 66 4 26 ) dx 13. onvert the following vector-valued function to rectangular form. r(u, v) v cos ui + v sin uj + 6v 2 k olution: In this case x v cos u and y v sin u and so x 2 + y 2 v 2 and so z 6v 2 means which is the equation of a paraboloid. z 6x 2 + 6y 2 14. A surface is given by the vector-valued function r(u, v) ui + vj + uvk, u, v Find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface at the point (6, 54, 18) olution: When u 6 and v 54 we have r u 1,, 1 2 54/6 1,, 3/2 and rv, 1, 1 2 The cross-product will provide a normal vector for the tangent plane: i j k r u r v 3 1 2 3/2, 1/6, 1 1 1 6 6/54, 1, 1/6 We may choose any convenient non-zero multiple of the cross-product for our normal vector, so we choose n 9, 1, 6. The desired plane thus goes through (6, 54, 18) and has normal vector 9, 1, 6 so it has equation 9(x 6) + 1(y 54) 6(z 18) which can be written as 9x + y 6z.

The lateral surface area of a cylinder with radius r and height h is given by 2πrh and in this case r 5 and h 7 so the lateral surface area is 2π(5)(7) 7π as above. 16.

Then r u r v 7 cos u, 7 sin u,
and then r u r v 7 and so d 7 dv du. The density is f(x, y, z) 3(x 2 + y 2 )z 147v. The mass is then given by f(x, y, z)d 2π 5 129v dv du 5 129πv 2 25725π 18.

Now, lies on a plane z ax + by + d; because contains (,, 5) we know d 5, because contains (1,, ) we know a(1) + 5 and so a 1/2 because contains (, 2, ) we know b(2) + 5. This implies b /2, and so one possible equation of the plane is z 1 2 x 5 2 y + 5 Now write the plane as 1 2 x + 5 2 y + z 5. Writing G(x, y, z) 1 2 x + 5 2 + z 5 we find 1 N d G da 2, 5 2, 1 da Observe that the plane lies above the region in the xy-plane which is a triangle with vertices (,, ), (1,, ), (, 2, ).

For this, you can replace the surface with a more convenient oriented surface with the same boundary because for both surfaces 1 and 2 we have curlf N d F dr curlf N d 1 2 (b) heck your answer by evaluating the line integral directly. olution: (a) We will evaluate curlf N d where is the surface z that is enclosed by the circle x 2 + y 2 16 and oriented with upward unit normal k.
