Homework Statement
Apologies for the attachment.
Homework Equations
Limit definition of the divergence as seen in attachment
Volume of a sphere: [itex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
The first thing I did was parameterize the vector function F(x,y,z) = <xy,x,y+z>
My parameterization is as follows:
[itex]
x = a+rcos\vartheta sin\varphi \\
y = b+rsin\vartheta sin\varphi \\
z = c+rcos\varphi \\
dS = S_{\varphi} X S_{\vartheta} d\varphi d\vartheta
[/itex]
Setting up the limit and integral:
[itex]
lim_{r\rightarrow0}\frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3} \int^{2\pi}_{\vartheta=0} \int^{\pi}_{\varphi=0} <(a + rcos\vartheta sin\varphi)(b + rsin\vartheta sin\varphi),a + rcos\vartheta sin\varphi,rsin\vartheta sin\varphi + c + rcos\varphi> \bullet S_{\varphi} X S_{\vartheta} d\varphi d\vartheta \\
[/itex]
I apologize for the large attachment and my messy latex. Any suggestions to clean it up are welcome. Am I on the right track so far, before I continue? I tried using the Jacobian thinking it would clean up the integrand but I didn't really get anywhere, and my professor told me we are not doing a change of variables here. Thanks in advance.
