1. Verify that the contour integral
R
C[2xy2 dx+2x2y dy+dz] is independent of the path. Evaluate
this integral between the points (0, 0, 0) and (a, b, c).
2. Given the parametric form of a cone r(u, v) = [u cos v, u sin v, cu] (a) find an explicit represen-
tation of the form z = f(x, y), (b) find and identify the parameter curves defined as u = const
and v = const, and (c) find a normal vector N to the conical surface.
3. In class we discussed surface integrals without regard to orientation. By reparameterizing the
surface integral could be written as
I =

G(r)dS =

R
G(r(u, v))|N(u, v)|du dv
(a) Consider the case with G = z and the surface S is the hemisphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 9 with
z 0. Use polar coordinates and evaluate the right-hand side of the above result. (b) The
surface S is also given explicitly by z = f(x, y) =
p
9 - x2 - y2. For such cases the surface
integral can be rewritten as

surface S is the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 9, and (b) when F = [9x, y cosh2 x,-z sinh2 x] and S is
the ellipsoid 4x2 + y2 + 9z2 = 36.
