1. Let S be the lower half of the ellipsoid x2 + y 2 + 4z 2 = 4, z 0. Orient the surface using the
outward unit normal. Let F(x, y, z) = xi + 2yj + 3zk.

2. Let C be the boundary of the half-annulus 2 x2 + y 2 4, x 0 in the x-y plane, traversed in

the positive direction. Let n
be the outward unit normal to C in the x-y plane.
