calculate
[tex] \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}[/tex]
where
[tex] \vec{F}=(e^y,ye^x,x^2y)[/tex]
M is a part of hyperboloid [tex]x^2+y^2[/tex]
which is located at 0<=x<=1 and 0<=y<=1 ,and its normal vector points outside
like this :

i am used to solve it like this
[tex] \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}=\iint_{D}\frac{\vec{F}\cdot<br /> \vec{N}}{|\vec{N}\cdot\vec{K}|}dxdy[/tex]
[tex] \vec{N}=(2x,2y,-1)[/tex]
[tex] \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}=\iint_{D}\frac{(e^y,ye^x,x^2y) \cdot<br /> (2x,2y,-1)}{1}dxdy[/tex]
now i convert into polar coordinates

x^2+y^2=r
[tex] =\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{(e^y,ye^x,x^2y) \cdot (2x,2y,-1)}{1}rdrd\theta[/tex]
how to what are the intervals for r
i just guessed its from 0 to 1
i don't know how to know the upper interval here

except that
is this method ok?

[itex]x^2+y^2[/itex] is just a meaningless expression and does not describe a hyperboloid. Do you mean [itex]z^2=x^2+y^2[/itex]?

now i convert into polar coordinates

x^2+y^2=r

You mean [itex]x^2+y^2=r^2[/itex], right?

Well, [itex]x^2+y^2=r^2[/itex] and [itex]x[/itex] and [itex]y[/itex] each go from 0 to 1, so wouldn't [itex]r[/itex] go from [itex]\sqrt{0^2+0^2}=0[/itex] to [itex]\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{2}[/itex]?

I am not sure about the square root of 2; Since at constant z you have a circle in a plane parallel to xy, x and y are related to r by the parametric equations

x = r cosφ y = r sinφ

When x = 1, y = 0. Am I missing something?
