i need help finding where i made i mistake while solving this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry it didnt upload the first time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fx is (x)*sqrt(x^2+y^2) and fy is (x)*sqrt(x^2+y^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you place the appropriate derivatives in sqrt(1+fx^2+fy^2) ans simplify you get sqrt(2) and if you solve this your limits are 0<r<2 and 0<theta<2pi which gives you an answer of 4pisqrt(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is this wrong...whered i make my mistake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the correct answer is 4π(2−2sqrt(2)) i dont know why though

hartnn (hartnn):

i don't know much, but how come your fx and fy both are same ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fy is (y)*sqrt(x^2+y^2) sorry i meant this

hartnn (hartnn):

simplifying, u still getting sqrt2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea=(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was jus a typo

hartnn (hartnn):

ohh... i think the portion of sphere is asked, hence u subtract that from 4*pi*r....maybe...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2
