Math Problem Statement
Using Green's Theorem (that is, using a suitable double integral) compute the value of int gamma vec F * d vec r , where vec F(x, y) = \langle(x + y) ^ 2, x ^ 2 + y ^ 2\rangle and gamma is the counterclockwise boundary of a triangular region with vertices O = (0, 0); A = (3, 0) and B = (1, 1) (It turns out that the region R for the double integral is of type dxdy. INTEGRATE USING DX THEN DY NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.)
Solution
To use Green's Theorem, we need to express the line integral as a double integral over the region enclosed by the curve . Green's Theorem states:
where and and .
Step 1: Calculate the Partial Derivatives
First, we need to compute and :
Now we substitute these into Green's Theorem:
Step 2: Set Up the Double Integral
Next, we define the region . The vertices of the triangle are , , and . We will integrate with respect to first and then .
- The bounds for range from to (from vertex to vertex ).
- For each , ranges from the left edge of the triangle (line segment ) to the right edge (line segment ):
- The line segment can be described by the equation (or ).
- The line segment is a horizontal line at and ends at .
Thus, the bounds for are:
- Lower bound: (for line segment )
- Upper bound: (for line segment )
Step 3: Write the Integral
Now we can set up the double integral:
Step 4: Evaluate the Inner Integral
Evaluating the inner integral:
[ \int_{y}^{3 - 3y} -2y , dx = -2y \left[ x \right]_{y}^{3 - 3y} = -2y \left[(3 - 3y) - y\right] = -2y (3 - 4y) = -6y + 8y^2 ]
Step 5: Evaluate the Outer Integral
Now we evaluate the outer integral:
[ \int_{0}^{1} (-6y + 8y^2) , dy = \left[ -3y^2 + \frac{8}{3}y^3 \right]_{0}^{1} = \left[ -3(1)^2 + \frac{8}{3}(1)^3 \right] - \left[ -3(0)^2 + \frac{8}{3}(0)^3 \right] ]
This simplifies to:
Final Result
Thus, the value of the line integral is:
