where C is any smooth path from (0, 0, 0) to (1, 2, 3).

[10 marks]

This is very similar to the following problems: WeBWork Assignment 5, Problems 1, 2, 5,

9; class examples 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.

Solution. Yes, F® is conservative since its domain is all of R 2 , which is simply

connected, and

®ı ® k®
® = ∂/∂ x ∂/∂ y ∂/∂z = h1 − 1, −(1 − 1), 1 − 1i ≡ 0.
curl(F) ®
y+z x+z x+y

Since F® is conservative, it is independent of path and for the evaluation of the line
integral we may take C to be the straight line

r®(t) = th1, 2, 3i, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

We have
® r (t)) = th5, 4, 3i,
F(® r®0(t) = h1, 2, 3i, ® r (t)) · r®0(t) = 22t.
F(®

Thus, ∫ ∫ 1

F® · d® 22t dt = 11.
C 0

Alternative solution. Yes, F® is conservative since it is equal to ∇φ throughout its

domain (all of R 2 ), for some scalar field φ, as we now show.

PAGE 1 OF 7.
We seek φ = φ(x, y, z) such that

φ x = y + z, φ y = x + z, φ z = x + y.

Now, φ z = x + y implies

φ(x, y, z) = xz + yz + f (x, y).

Next, φ y = x + z implies

z + fy (x, y) = x + z =⇒ f (x, y) = xy + g(x).

Combining yields
φ(x, y, z) = xz + yz + g(x).
Finally, φ x = y + z implies

z + g0(x) = y + z =⇒ g(x) = xy + c,

c a constant. Taking c = 0, we obtain

φ(x, y, z) = xz + yz + x y.

By the fundamental theorem for line integrals, we have

r = (∇φ) · d®
F® · d® r = φ(1, 2, 3) − φ(0, 0, 0) = 11.

0 x

[10 marks]

This is very similar to the following problems: WeBWork Assignment 6, Problems 5 and 6;
class examples 33(b) and 36.

Solution. Let
D = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, x ≤ y ≤ 1}.

PAGE 2 OF 7.
One may verify [a picture helps] that
D = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ x ≤ y}.
Thus, applying Fubini’s theorem twice,

We have sin(1) = 0.84147 . . ., but it is not necessary to give a decimal approximation to

your final answer.

The key here is to change order of integration. The function 2 cos(y 2 ) does not have an
antiderivative that can be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Any argument
purporting to lead to an evaluation of the double integral, that does not involve changing
order of integration, is necessarily flawed.

∬
3. Evaluate yz dS, where S is the part of the plane x + y + z = 2 that lies in the
S
first octant.

[10 marks]

This is very similar to the following problems: Quiz 3; class example 56.

Solution. The projection of S onto the x y-plane (z = 0) is

D = {(x, y) : x + y ≤ 2, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0}.

PAGE 3 OF 7.
(If we set z = 0 in the equation defining S, we get the line x + y = 2, which is part of
the boundary of D; we are also told that S lies in the first octant, whence x ≥ 0 and
y ≥ 0.) We may write D as a type I region [a picture helps]:

D = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 − x}.

Now, re-writing the equation for S as z = 2 − x − y, we have

yz = y(2 − x − y),

and q p √ √
z2x + z2y + 1 = (−1)2 + (−1)2 + 1 = 3, i.e. dS = 3 dA.

We have 2 3/3 = 1.15470 . . ., but it is not necessary√to give a√decimal approximation to

Alternative solution. The projection of S onto the xy-plane (z = 0) is

D = {(x, y) : x + y ≤ 2, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0}.

(If we set z = 0 in the equation defining S, we get the line x + y = 2, which is part of
the boundary of D; we are also told that S lies in the first octant, whence x ≥ 0 and
y ≥ 0.) We may write D as a type I region [a picture helps]:

D = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 − x}.

PAGE 4 OF 7.

Alternative solution. One could of course project S onto the yz-plane or the xz-plane:
different solutions are tantamount to a change in notation.

4. Let D be a region in the xy-plane consisting of a disk of radius 5 with a disk of radius
2 removed. Let C1 be the boundary of the larger disk, oriented counterclockwise,
and let C2 be the boundary of the smaller disk, also oriented counterclockwise.
