1. Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded

by the curves
y = x, y = 3x, xy = 1, xy = 3. The double integral R dA =
(a) ln 27
(b) ln 26
(c) ln 16
(d) ln 6 (e) none of the above.
Solution. The given region R can be described as {(x, y) | 1 y/x 3, 1 xy
3 }. Let G be the rectangular region {( s, t ) | 1 s
3, 1 t 3 } in the st-plane.
Consider the following transformation (s, t) ( t/s, ts ) = ( x(s, t), y(s, t) ).
This map is constructed by using the relation s = y/x, t = xy. Then the Jacobian

is given by J = (x,y)

2. Thesurface area
of thetriangle with
vertices (1, 2, 3), (3, 2, 1) and (1, 1, 1) is
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 5 (d) 6 (e) none of the above.

Solution.
Let B(1, 2, 3), C(3, 2, 1) and A(1, 1, 1). Then AB = OB OA =

(1, 2, 3) (1, 1, 1) = (0, 1, 2) and AC = OC OA = (3, 2, 1) (1, 1, 1) = (2, 1, 0).

Then the surface of the triangle ABC is given by 21 AB AC = 12 (0, 1, 2)

(2, 1, 0) = 21 (0 2, 4 0, 0 2) = (1, 2, 1) = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6.

4. Let F(x, y, z) is a constant vector field
on R , which of the following holds:
(a) F = 0 (b) divF = 0 (c)
F T ds = 0 for all differentiable path C
C

(d) F = f for some differentiable function f on R3 (e) None of the above.

Solution.
From the given condition, we have F(x, y, z) = (P, Q, R), where
P, Q, R are constants. Then curl F = (P, Q, R) = (Ry Qz , Pz Rx , Qx Py ) =
(0, 0, 0). Similarly, divF = Px + Qy + Rz = 0. Hence (a) and (b) are not the correct
answer. curl F = (0, 0, 0) and the domain R3 of F is simply connected, so there
exists a potential function f defined on R3 , so f = F on R3 , so (d) holds.

F T ds =

Moreover, by fundamental theorem of line integral,

C

f T ds =
C

f (B) f (A), where B and A are the starting point and terminal point of the path
C. In general, this is not equal to 0, for example F(x, y, z) = (1, 0, 0) = (x).
5. The equation of the spherical coordinates for the cylinder x2 + y 2 = x is
(a) = sin cos (b) sin = sin2 cos (c) = sin cos
(d) = cos (e) None of the above.
Solution. 2 sin2 = x2 + y 2 = x = sin cos , i.e. sin = cos in which (e)
is the only correct choice.
6. Let
R be the region bounded by lines y = x/2, y = x, y = 2 and y = 4, then
2x
dA is
(a) 2 ln 2, (b) 12 ln 2 (c) 10 (d) 18 (e) None of the above.
R y
Solution. By using horizontal section, region R = { (x, y) | 2 y 4, y x

(a) (, 1, 1) (b) (2, 1, 1) (c) (2, , 1) (d) (2, 1, ) (e) None of the
above.
Solution. curl F(x, y, z) = (x sin x + y, xy, yz + x) = (z 0, 0 1, y 1) =
(z, 1, y 1), so curlF(, 0, 2) = (2, 1, 0 1) = (2, 1, 1).

Solution. On the sphere S, we have x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 2, so S (x2 + y 2 + z 2 ) dS =

Stokes Thm

For students, it would be idea if you can review the following topics:
1. change of variables: Jacobian
2. cross products, dot product : curlF = F, divF = F, F T, F n.
3. evaluation of simple double integral: Determine the upper and lower limits.
4. vector fields: Divergence, Flux and Curl.
5. spherical coordinates: Sphere, balls, and ice-cream objects.
6. evaluation of double integral: Iterated integral, and Green Theorem
7. exchange the order of integration: Finding out which cross-sections.
8. surface integral: Surfaces area element, surface area, and Stokes theorem.
9. simple line integral: Parametrization, unit tangent vector of a curve, and integral
formula.

19. Let F(x, y, z) = (x + y)i + (x + z)j + yk be vector field in space.

(a) Find a potential f (x, y, z) such thatf (x, y, z) = F(x, y, z) on R3 .
F dr, where C is a contour originating

(b) Evaluate the following line integral

C

at (0, 0, 0) and terminating at (0, 1, 1).

Solution.
(a) Recall that a vector field F is conservative on D, if F = f
for some scalar function f defined on the same domain D. Note that F(x, y, z) =
2
(x + y)i + (x + z)j + yk = ( x2 + xy + zy) on R2 , so F is conservative on R2 .
Remark. One can use the curl test to check that curl F := F = 0 on
R2 , and then quotes that R2 is simply connected, (i.e. every closed path can be
continuously deformed to a constant path,) so F is conservative on R2 .
2
(b) f (x, y) = x2 + xy + zy is a potential function of F for which f = F.
(c) By fundamental
theorem of line integral (see lecture note 11), we have
