Solution. Suppose the plane z = 2 meets the paraboloid z = x2 + y2 at a


curve C, and let (x, y, 2) be any point on C, then x2 + y2 = 2, so we know that
by projecting the surface S onto xy-plane, its shadow is given by the point in
the circular disc { (x, y) x2 + y2 2 }. Then S is the graph of the function
z(x, y) = x2 + y2 , so zx = 2x, zy = 2y. The area of surface S is given by

Example. Find the volume of the (solid) region D bounded by 3 surfaces:

paraboloid x = y z2 , cylinder x = y/2, and plane y = 1.

Solution. The best way to describe the solid D is to make use of cross-section
If we fix the value of y = b, (0 b 2), this gives us a plane Sb parallel to the
xz-coordinate plane, this plane Sb will intersect the given solid region D with

an intersection D(b), with boundary given by the curves C1 : x = b z2 , and

C2 : x = b/2 on the plane Sb respectively. The curve C1 represents part

x = b z2 of a circle defined by x2 + z2 = b2 , and the curve C2 represents

portion of the line x = b/2 on the plane Sb . With this description, we can
sketch the circle and the line with various values of b (0 b 2), and then
find out the cross-section D(b) is given precisely by

Example. Evaluate the line integral xyz ds, where C is the path from
C
A(0, 0, 0) to D(1, 2, 3) consisting of three line segments joining together, the
first one is parallel to the x-axis, the second parallel to the y-axis, the third
parallel to the z-axis.

Solution. It follows from the description of the path that it starts first from
A(0, 0, 0) to B(1, 0, 0), next from B(1, 0, 0) to C(1, 2, 0); and finally from
C(1, 2, 0) to D(1, 2, 3). Note if a path is parallel to one of the coordinate axes,
so the remaining two coordinates are constant, in particular, their derivatives
with respect(to the time-parameter
) t are zero. With the description, one has

Theorem. If f (x, y, z) is a scalar function and has continuous 2nd order partial
derivatives, then curl (f ) = 0.

i j k

Proof. curl (f ) = x y z =
fx fy fz
( (fz )y (fy )z )i + ( (fx )z (fz )x )j + ( (fy )x (fx )y )k = 0.

Corollary. If F is conservative (i.e. F = f ), then curl F = 0.

Remark. This can be used as a necessary condition for checking if a given


vector field F is conservative. We will discuss about the sufficient condition
later.
Example. F(x, y, z) = xzi + xyzj y2 k is not conservative because curl
F = (2y + xy)i + xj + yzk = 0.

None of the above

Solution. The answer is E. The vector fields in A, B, D are conservative, i.e.


F = f for some scalar functions, so it follows that curlF = curl(f ) = 0. And
one evaluates that

If F is a conservative vector field ( i.e. F = (f ) ) defined on a domain D

T is the unit tangent vector field of C. In this case,
F(x, y, z) = (y2 , 2xy, z) = (f (x, y, z) where f (x, y, z) = xy2 + z2 /2. And
hence the vector filed F is conservative. It follows that

C F Tds = f (r(b)) f (r(a)) = 0 for all the closed path C with r(a) =r(b). It
follows from the theorem of path-independence that the line integral C F Tds
is independent of the choice of the path C with the same starting and terminal
points.
