The discussion centers on calculating the circulation of a vector field along the boundary of a specific region, denoted as omega. The confusion arises from the boundaries of the region, particularly regarding the upper limit defined by the function y = 3 + √(9 - x²), which describes a quarter circle rather than stopping at y = 3. The region is defined by the inequality 0 ≤ y ≤ 3 + √(9 - x²) for x ≥ 0, encompassing all y-values from the x-axis up to the quarter circle. Clarification is provided that for x = 0, y can range from 0 to 6, and for x = 3, y ranges from 0 to 3. Understanding the correct boundaries is crucial for accurately calculating the integral.

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!
