SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the circulation of the vector field F around the region denoted as Ω. The upper boundary of this region is defined by the function y = 3 + √(9 - x²), which describes a quarter circle, rather than stopping at y = 3. The inequality 0 ≤ y ≤ 3 + √(9 - x²) accurately represents the y-values for x ≥ 0, extending from the x-axis to the quarter circle. This clarification is essential for correctly identifying the limits of integration in the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector fields and circulation
  • Familiarity with inequalities in Cartesian coordinates
  • Knowledge of functions and their graphical representations
  • Basic calculus concepts, particularly integration
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of vector fields in multivariable calculus
  • Learn about calculating circulation using line integrals
  • Explore the graphical representation of inequalities in two dimensions
  • Review the concept of parametric equations for curves
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focusing on calculus and vector analysis, as well as educators seeking to clarify concepts related to regions defined by functions.

Stocke theorem!
Greetings!

The exercice ask to calculate the circuitation of the the vector field F on the border of the set omega
I do understand the solution very well
my problem is the region!
I m used to work with a region delimitated clearly by two intersecting function here the upper one stop a y=3 and doesn´t intersect with y=0.

thank you!

No, the upper function doesn't stop at y = 3. The quarter circle does, but the function is given by ##y = 3 + \sqrt{9 - x^2}##.
The region ##\Omega## is (obviously) the portion in blue. The inequality ##0 \le y \le 3 + \sqrt{9 - x^2}## includes all those y-values for which ##x \ge 0##, that run from the x-axis up to the quarter circle. For example, if x = 0, y ranges from 0 to 6; if x = 3, y ranges from 0 to 3.

Thanks a million!
