Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, if applicable, to evaluate the integrals in the given exercises. Otherwise, show that the vector field is not conservative.

F(x,y)=(2xln2,2y), with C the straight line segment from (3,7)to(0,1).

Step 2. Firstly checking the given field is conservative or not.

dF(x,y)dy=ddy2xln2dF(x,y)dx=ddx2ydF(x,y)dy=0dF(x,y)dx=0

Since, dF(x,y)dy=dF(x,y)dx, so the given function is conservative.

03

Step 3. The given function is F(x,y)=(2xln2, 2y)

The points are(3,7)to(0,1)

We write the line segment as a vector function:

r=(3,7)+t(0-3,1-7)r=(3,7)+t(-3,-6)0t1,orinparametricformx=3-3t,y=7-6tx'=-3,y'=-6

04

Step 4. Now the integral is ∫Cf(x,y,z)ds=∫abf(r(t))x'(t)+y'(t)+z'(t)dt

Cf(x,y,z)ds=01(23-3tln2,2(7-6t))-3,-6dtCf(x,y,z)ds=01-3·23-3tln2+-6·2(7-6t))dtCf(x,y,z)ds=01-3·23-3tln2dt+01-6·2(7-6t))dtCf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln20123-3tdt-1201(7-6t))dtCf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln20123-3tdt-12×701dt-601tdtCf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln20123-3tdt-8401dt-601tdtCf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln2I1-84I2-6I3

Step 5. Now finding the value of I1

Step 5. Now finding the value of I2

Step 5. Now finding the value of I3

I3=01tdtI3=t1+11+101I3=t2201I3=122-022I3=12

Step 8. Now putting the value in∫Cf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln2I1-84I2-6I3

Cf(x,y,z)ds=-3ln2·83ln3-84·0-6·12Cf(x,y,z)ds=-24ln23ln3-0-3Cf(x,y,z)ds=-24ln23ln3-3

Find the masses of the lamina:

The lamina occupies the region of the hyperboloid with equation z2+4=x2+y2 that lies above and/or below the disk of radius 5 about the origin in the XY-plane, and the density function, ρ(x, y,z), is proportional to the distance from the origin.

(e) True or False: Stokes’ Theorem can be interpreted as a generalization of the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals.

(f) True or False: If F(x, y ,z) is a conservative vector field, then Stokes’ Theorem and Theorem 14.12 together give an alternative proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals for simple closed curves.

(g) True or False: Stokes’ Theorem can be interpreted as a generalization of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

(h) True or False: Stokes’ Theorem can be used to evaluate surface area .
