Math Problem Statement

Integrate ​G(x,y,z)equalszminusx over the portion of the graph of zequalsxplus3ysquared that lies above the triangle in the​ xy-plane having vertices​ (0,0,0), ​(1​,1,0), and​ (0,1,0).

Solution

To solve the given problem, we need to integrate the function G(x,y,z)=zxG(x,y,z) = z - x over the surface z=x+3y2z = x + 3y^2 above the triangular region in the xyxy-plane with vertices (0,0)(0,0), (1,1)(1,1), and (0,1)(0,1).

Here are the steps to solve the problem:

  1. Parameterize the Surface: The surface z=x+3y2z = x + 3y^2 can be parameterized as r(x,y)=(x,y,x+3y2)\vec{r}(x,y) = (x, y, x + 3y^2).

  2. Determine the Region of Integration: The triangular region in the xyxy-plane is bounded by the lines:

    • x=0x = 0 (left side),
    • y=1y = 1 (top side),
    • y=xy = x (hypotenuse).

    Thus, the bounds for xx and yy are: 0y1and0xy.0 \leq y \leq 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 0 \leq x \leq y.

  3. Surface Integral Setup: The surface integral of G(x,y,z)=zxG(x,y,z) = z - x over the surface SS is given by: S(zx)dS.\iint_S (z - x) \, dS. To convert this to a double integral over the region RR in the xyxy-plane, we use the parameterization and the surface element dSdS: dS=rx×rydxdy,dS = \left\| \vec{r}_x \times \vec{r}_y \right\| \, dx \, dy, where rx=(1,0,1)\vec{r}_x = (1, 0, 1) and ry=(0,1,6y)\vec{r}_y = (0, 1, 6y).

  4. Calculate the Cross Product:

    \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 6y \end{vmatrix} = \mathbf{i}(0 - 6y) - \mathbf{j}(1 - 0) + \mathbf{k}(1 - 0) = (-6y, -1, 1).$$ The magnitude is: $$\left\| \vec{r}_x \times \vec{r}_y \right\| = \sqrt{(-6y)^2 + (-1)^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{36y^2 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{36y^2 + 2}.$$
  5. Integral in Terms of xx and yy: Substitute z=x+3y2z = x + 3y^2 into G(x,y,z)=zxG(x,y,z) = z - x: G(x,y,z)=x+3y2x=3y2.G(x,y,z) = x + 3y^2 - x = 3y^2. Thus, the integral becomes: R3y236y2+2dxdy.\iint_R 3y^2 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} \, dx \, dy.

  6. Evaluate the Double Integral: Set up the double integral with the determined limits: 010y3y236y2+2dxdy.\int_0^1 \int_0^y 3y^2 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} \, dx \, dy. Since 3y236y2+23y^2 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} is independent of xx, the dxdx integral just multiplies by yy: 01(0y3y236y2+2dx)dy=013y336y2+2dy.\int_0^1 \left( \int_0^y 3y^2 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} \, dx \right) dy = \int_0^1 3y^3 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} \, dy.

  7. Substitute and Solve the Remaining Integral: Use the substitution u=36y2+2u = 36y^2 + 2 with du=72ydydu = 72y \, dy to solve the integral. This involves: 013y336y2+2dy=238u72(u2)36du.\int_0^1 3y^3 \sqrt{36y^2 + 2} \, dy = \int_2^{38} \frac{\sqrt{u}}{72} \cdot \frac{(u-2)}{36} \, du. Solve this integral for the final value.
