S\int\int
F*Nds
F(x,y,z) = (xy^2 + cosz)i + (x^2*y + sinz)j + e^(z)*k

s: z = 1/2\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} , z = 8

divF = y^2 + x^2 +e^z

Q\int\int\int (y^2 + x^2 + e^k)dV

This is as far as I got, I have no idea how to do the limits for this triple integral

thanks in advance guys.

You can see that the closed surface concerned is an ice-cream cone with its tip centered at the origin and capped by the plane z=8. With this in mind, note that it would be easiest to evaluate the triple integral in either cylindrical or spherical coordinates. Cylindrical coordinates is simpler, in my opinion. Set up the integral and integrate in the order drdθdz.

Try to express r in terms of z. You already have the equation for a cone. And since x^2 + y^2 = r^2 = 4z^2, you can do so easily. Bearing that in mind, imagine a ray from the origin passing through the cone, it has minimum value 0 and maximum value where it leaves the cone at z=8, so your limits for r should be 0 and 2z. Limits for θ should be 0 to 2pi. And finally you are given the limits for z in the question, right? It should be 0 and 8.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
