Rapid Recall
- Consider the vector field $\vec F(x,y,z) = (M,N,P)$, where each of $M$, $N$, and $P$ are functions of $x$, $y$, and $z$. Compute $D\vec F(x,y,z)$ symbolically, filling the 3 by 3 matrix with appropriate partials of $M$, $N$, and $P$.
Solution
The solution is $$D\vec F = \begin{bmatrix} \begin{matrix}M_x\\N_x\\P_x\end{matrix} &\begin{matrix}M_y\\N_y\\P_y\end{matrix} &\begin{matrix}M_z\\N_z\\P_z\end{matrix} \end{bmatrix}$$
- Consider the surface $\vec r(u,v) = (2u+3v,4u+5v,6u+7v)$. The differential is $$d\vec r=\begin{pmatrix}2\\4\\6\end{pmatrix}du+\begin{pmatrix}3\\5\\7\end{pmatrix}dv.$$ Find the area of the parallelogram with edges $(2,4,6)du$ and $(3,5,7)dv$.
Solution
The magnitude of the cross product of these two vectors is $$\begin{align} |(2,4,6)du\times(3,5,7)dv| &=\left|(2,4,6)\times(3,5,7)\right|dudv\\ &=\left|(4(7)-5(6),3(6)-2(7),2(5)-3(4))\right|dudv\\ &=\left|(-2,4,-2)\right|dudv\\ &=\sqrt{4+16+4}dudv\\ &=\sqrt{24}dudv \end{align}$$
- For a vector field $\vec F(x,y)=(M,N)$ that is continuously differentiable everywhere, Green's theorem states $$\oint_C Mdx+Ndy = \iint_R N_x-M_ydA,$$ where $R$ is region inside a simple closed piecewise smooth curve $C$ that traverses around the boundary of $R$ in a counterclockwise fashion. Let $\vec F = (3x+4y,6x+7y)$ and let $C$ be the curve which starts at $(1,-3)$, travels right to $(5,-3)$, up to $(5,7)$, left to $(1,7)$, and then back down to $(1,-3)$. Find the work done by $\vec F$ along $C$.
Solution
Note that $N_x-M_y=6-4=2$. By Green's theorem, the requested integral is the same as $\iint_R2dA=2A$, twice the area of the rectangle $R$ inside $C$. The width of this rectangle is 4, and the height is 10, so the answer is $W=2A = 2(40)=80$.
