Problem 3.

a) y (2xy + z 3 ) = 2x = 2
x (x + 2yz);
3 2
z (2xy + z ) = 3z = x (y
2 + 3xz 2 1);
2 2 2
z (x + 2yz) = 2y = y (y + 3xz 1); so F is conservative.
b) Method 1: f (x, y, z) = C1 +C2 +C3 F dr;

(x1 , y1 , z1 )
r = x1 (2xy + z 3 ) dx = x1 0 dx = 0 (y = 0, z = 0)

C1 F d 0 0 C1 C3
dr = y1 (x2 + 2yz) dy = y1 x2 dy = x2 y1 (x = x1 , z = 0)

C F 0 0 1 1 C

dr =

C3 F 0 (y + 3xz 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 (x = x 1 , y = y1 )
So f (x, y, z) = x2 y + y 2 z + xz 3 z + c.
f 3
Method 2: x = 2xy + z , so f (x, y, z) = x2 y + xz 3 + g(y, z).
f 2 g 2 g
y = x + y = x + 2yz, so y = 2yz.
Therefore g(y, z) = y 2 z + h(z), and f (x, y, z) = x2 y + xz 3 + y 2 z + h(z).
f
z = 3xz 2 + y 2 + h (z) = y 2 + 3xz 2 1, so h (z) = 1.
Therefore h(z) = z + c, and f (x, y, z) = x2 y + xz 3 + y 2 z z + c.

Problem 4.
a) S is the graph of z = f (x, y) = 1 x2 y 2 , so n dS = fx , fy , 1 dA = 2x, 2y, 1 dA.
dS = S x, y, 2(1 z) 2x, 2y, 1 dA = S 2x2 + 2y 2 + 2(1 z) dA = S 4x2 +

Therefore S F n
4y 2 dA (since z = 1 x2 y 2 ).

Shadow = unit disc x2 + y 2 1; switching to polar coordinates, we have

dS = 2 1 4r2 r dr d = 2 r4 1 d = 2.

SF n 0 0 0 0
b) Let T = unit disc in the xy-plane, with normal vector pointing down ( Then
n = k).
F n dS =

dS = T x, y, 2 (k) T 2 dS = 2 Area = 2. By divergence theorem,
T
n dV = 0, since div F = 1 + 1 2 = 0. Therefore

S+T F dS = D div F S = T = +2.

Problem 5.

a) curl F = x y z = 2y 2x.

2xz 0 y 2
b) On theunit sphere, n so curl F n
= x + y + zk, = 2y, 2x, 0 x, y, z = 2xy 2xy = 0;

therefore R curl F n dS = 0.
c) By Stokes, C F dr = R curl F n


dS, where R is the region delimited by C on the unit sphere.
Using the result of b), we get C F dr = R curl F n


dS = 0.
