The problem in the image involves calculating a surface integral of the vector field \(\vec{F}\) over a given surface \(S\), expressed in the form:

\[
\vec{F} = x^2y \hat{x} + yz \hat{y} + (x + 3)z \hat{z}
\]

The integral is:

\[
\int_S \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{A}
\]

The surface \(S\) is defined by the plane \(x + 2z = 4\), and we are given the specific points and boundaries:

- \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\), \(z = 0\),
- \(x = 3\), \(y = 3\), \(x + 2z = 4\).

To solve the surface integral:

1. **Step 1: Parametrize the surface equation \(x + 2z = 4\)**. This will help define the limits and express \(d\vec{A}\) in terms of the surface's geometry.
   
2. **Step 2: Find \(d\vec{A}\)**, the differential surface area vector. The surface is in 3D space, and we can calculate \(d\vec{A}\) using the normal vector to the plane \(x + 2z = 4\).

3. **Step 3: Plug the vector field \(\vec{F}\) into the surface integral.** Compute the dot product \(\vec{F} \cdot d\vec{A}\).

4. **Step 4: Evaluate the resulting integral** using the limits determined from the parametric form of the surface.

I will now go through these steps to solve the problem.The surface integral of the vector field \(\vec{F}\) over the plane \(x + 2z = 4\) is:

\[
\int_S \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{A} = \frac{135}{2}
\]

This is the final result for the given problem.

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

1. How is the surface parametrization done in different coordinate systems (like spherical or cylindrical)?
2. What role does the normal vector \(d\vec{A}\) play in surface integrals?
3. How would the approach change if the surface was curved instead of a plane?
4. Can you explain the physical meaning of the surface integral in the context of fluid flow or electromagnetism?
5. How does Stokes' Theorem relate to surface integrals like the one we just calculated?

**Tip:** When solving surface integrals, always verify the orientation of the normal vector to ensure correct results.
