Homework Statement


Use stoke's theorem to calculate integral of F dot dr over C where F(x,y,z) = (-Z^2,y^2,x^2) and C is the curve of intersection of the place -y+z=0 and the parabloid z=x^2+y^2


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


found the curl of -2x-2xj, but coudlnt figure out how to calculate the integral

can you set up the integral for us and tell us exactly what your problem is?

'-2x-2xj' makes no sense. And if you intended '(-2x-2x)j', that is 0.

Since the curve is given as the intersection of the two surfaces, you can use Stoke's theorem on either surface. I imagine the plane would be easier.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
