SUMMARY
The integral K = $\int\int_S \frac{z}{2} dA$ is computed over the parametrized surface S defined by R(u, v) = (u², v², u + v) for 0 ≤ u ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ v ≤ 1. The integral is expressed as $\int_0^1\int_0^1 \frac{u+v}{2}\sqrt{E(u,v)G(u,v)-(F(u,v))^2}dudv$, where E, F, and G are derived from the partial derivatives of R. This calculation involves evaluating the dot products R_u·R_u, R_u·R_v, and R_v·R_v, which are essential for determining the surface area element dA.
