QuestionVerify the conclusion of Green's Theorem by evaluating both sides of each of the two forms of Green's Theorem for the field F=6xi2yjF=6 x i-2 y j. Take the domains of integration in each case to be the disk R:x2+y2a2R: x^{2}+y^{2} \leq a^{2} and its bounding circle CC : r=(acost)i+(asint)j,0t2πr=(a \cos t) i+(a \sin t) j, 0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi. i Click here for the two forms of Green's Theorem.
The flux is \square (Type an exact answer, using π\pi as needed.)

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The vector field is given by F=6xi2yj F = 6x \, \mathbf{i} - 2y \, \mathbf{j} .
2. The domain of integration is the disk R:x2+y2a2 R: x^2 + y^2 \leq a^2 .
3. The bounding circle C C is parameterized by r(t)=acosti+asintj r(t) = a \cos t \, \mathbf{i} + a \sin t \, \mathbf{j} , where 0t2π 0 \leq t \leq 2\pi .
4. We will use Green's Theorem in both its circulation form and flux form.

STEP 2

Green's Theorem (Circulation Form) states that for a vector field F=Pi+Qj F = P \, \mathbf{i} + Q \, \mathbf{j} , the line integral around a simple closed curve C C is equal to the double integral over the region R R it encloses:
C(Pdx+Qdy)=R(QxPy)dA\oint_C (P \, dx + Q \, dy) = \iint_R \left( \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} \right) \, dA

STEP 3

Identify P P and Q Q from the vector field F=6xi2yj F = 6x \, \mathbf{i} - 2y \, \mathbf{j} :
P=6x,Q=2yP = 6x, \quad Q = -2y

STEP 4

Calculate the partial derivatives needed for Green's Theorem (Circulation Form):
Qx=(2y)x=0\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial (-2y)}{\partial x} = 0
Py=(6x)y=0\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial (6x)}{\partial y} = 0

STEP 5

Substitute the derivatives into the double integral for the circulation form:
R(QxPy)dA=R(00)dA=0\iint_R \left( \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} \right) \, dA = \iint_R (0 - 0) \, dA = 0

STEP 6

Green's Theorem (Flux Form) states that for a vector field F=Pi+Qj F = P \, \mathbf{i} + Q \, \mathbf{j} , the line integral around a simple closed curve C C is equal to the double integral over the region R R it encloses:
C(QdxPdy)=R(Px+Qy)dA\oint_C (Q \, dx - P \, dy) = \iint_R \left( \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial y} \right) \, dA

STEP 7

Calculate the partial derivatives needed for Green's Theorem (Flux Form):
Px=(6x)x=6\frac{\partial P}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial (6x)}{\partial x} = 6
Qy=(2y)y=2\frac{\partial Q}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial (-2y)}{\partial y} = -2

STEP 8

Substitute the derivatives into the double integral for the flux form:
R(Px+Qy)dA=R(62)dA=R4dA\iint_R \left( \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial y} \right) \, dA = \iint_R (6 - 2) \, dA = \iint_R 4 \, dA

STEP 9

Convert the double integral over the disk R R to polar coordinates. The region R R is 0ra 0 \leq r \leq a and 0θ2π 0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi .

STEP 10

Set up the double integral in polar coordinates:
R4dA=02π0a4rdrdθ\iint_R 4 \, dA = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^a 4 \, r \, dr \, d\theta

STEP 11

Evaluate the inner integral with respect to r r :
0a4rdr=4[r22]0a=4a22=2a2\int_0^a 4r \, dr = 4 \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_0^a = 4 \cdot \frac{a^2}{2} = 2a^2

STEP 12

Evaluate the outer integral with respect to θ \theta :
02π2a2dθ=2a2[θ]02π=2a22π=4πa2\int_0^{2\pi} 2a^2 \, d\theta = 2a^2 \left[ \theta \right]_0^{2\pi} = 2a^2 \cdot 2\pi = 4\pi a^2

STEP 13

The flux through the region R R is 4πa2 4\pi a^2 .
The flux is 4πa2 4\pi a^2 .
