Green’s Theorem is
\(\displaystyle \L\\\int_{c}P dx + Qdy = \int_{D} ((dQ)/(dx)-(dP/dy)) dA\)
Evaluate the line integral by two methods: (a) directly and (b) using Green’s Theorem.
\(\displaystyle \L\\\int_{C}xydx + x^2y^3dy\)
C is a triangle with vertices (0,0), (1,0) and (1,2)
\(\displaystyle \L\\ P=xy, Q=x^2y3\)
When I think, "evaluate the integral directly," this is what I get:
\(\displaystyle \L\\\1/2x^2y + 1/4x^2y^4\)
(Is that right?) But I don’t know how to evaluate it.
Then for Green’s Theorem, I have
dQ/dx=2x, dP/dy=x
\(\displaystyle \L\\\int_{d} (dQ/dx)minus(dP/dy) dA= \int_{d} 2x-x dA= \int_{D} x dA\)
This next step I’m not sure about, but this is what I get: (The dA is the part I really don’t know about, but the other could be wrong too…)
\(\displaystyle \L\\\int_{0,0}^{1,0} xdA + \int_{1,0}^{1,2} xdA+ \int_{1,2}^{0,0} xdA\)
I know this is long, and I’m sorry. But these steps are driving me crazy! This is everything I have.
