ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \hat{n} dS = \langle -f_x, -f_y, 1\rangle \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(z = f(x,y) = 4-y^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know the above formula..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to parametrise it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we need the normal vector to take dot product right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct formula : \[\large \hat{n} dS = \langle -f_x, -f_y, 1\rangle dx dy\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(z = f(x,y) = 4-y^2\) \(f_x = 0\) \(f_y = -2y\) \(\large \implies \ \hat{n} dS = \langle 0, 2y, 1\rangle dx dy\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \iint_S \overrightarrow{F} \bullet \hat{n} dS = \iint_S\langle x^2-x, -xy, 3z \rangle \bullet \langle 0,2y,1 \rangle dx dy \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can replace z by 4-y^2 <<<<< this is the parameterization :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \iint_S \overrightarrow{F} \bullet \hat{n} dS = \iint_S\langle x^2-x, -xy, 3(\color{red}{4-y^2}) \rangle \bullet \langle 0,2y,1 \rangle dx dy \]

\[\int \int ||n||dudv\] isnt this the formula for surfaces? sorry, im not good with this

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

aahh yes you will get the same normal vector, but that would be like deriving the entire formula for each and every problem... we can use the formula for ndS directly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the formula work for every surface integral? cos i havent seen it in my lecture notes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it works for every surface integral, we can derive it if you want... just notice the limitation of this formula : we need to isolate z

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

surface need to be in z = f(x, y) form for using this formula - thats the only requirement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks back to the question, would the integral limits be -2 < y < 2 , 0 < x <3 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets see, its just a double integral

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \iint_S \overrightarrow{F} \bullet \hat{n} dS = \iint_S\langle x^2-x, -xy, 3(\color{red}{4-y^2}) \rangle \bullet \langle 0,2y,1 \rangle dx dy\] \[\large = \iint_S -2xy^2 -3y^2 +12 ~ dx dy\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're left with this after taking the dot product right ?

Miracrown (miracrown):

right... ;)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes bounds look right !
