Let V be the region bounded by the hemisphere z=1-sqrt(1-x^2-y^2) and the plane z=1, and let S be the surface enclosing V. consider the vector field $F= x(z-1)\hat{\imath}+y(z-1)\hat{\jmath}-xy\hat{k}$.
Online it says that the integral is the opposite of the derivative. So x^2 is the integral of 2x.
So if f(x) = x^2 , does that mean that the integral is just the function itself? Basically whatever f(x) equals?
Thanks in advance
