Homework Statement


Let D=\{(x,y,z)| z^{2}=1+x^{2}+y^{2} , 1<z<3\} Compute\int\int_{D}zdS

Homework Equations


From lectures I know;
\int\int_{D}\delta dS=\int\int_{D}\delta\sqrt{(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x})^{2}+(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y})^{2}+1}dxdy


The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure what I'm doing is correct my answer seems wrong;

z^{2}=1+x^{2}+y^{2}
so

z=\sqrt{1+x^{2}+y^{2}}

Taking partial derivatives of x and y and substituting into equation from 2 I get

\int\int_{D}\sqrt{5x^{2}+5y^{2}+1}dxdy

making change of variables to cylindrical coordinates

\int\int_{D}\sqrt{5r^{2}+1}r drdt

making substitution

u=5r^{2}+1

I get

\int\int_{D}\sqrt{u} dudt

I brought the limits through as well to have limits for u of 0 and 41 and limits of t of 0 and 2\pi

giving me a final answer of 1099.675108 which seems completely wrong;

Any suggestions?

I got 2 instead of 5. Really, \frac {\partial z}{\partial x} = \frac{x}{z} and \frac {\partial z}{\partial y} = \frac{y}{z}
z \sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{z^2} + \frac{y^2}{z^2}} = z \sqrt{ \frac{z^2 + x^2 + y^2}{z^2} } = \sqrt{1+2x^2+2y^2}

I then got 73.39 which is a lot more likely.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
