<br /> _{c}\oint F*dr=_{\sigma}\iint(curlF)nds<br />
F(x,y,z)=(2z)i+(3x)j+(5y)k
<br /> _{\sigma}<br /> is a part of a paraboloid z=4-x^2-y^2 where z>=0
on the x-y plane our paraboloid is 4=x^2+y^2
and the parametric view of it is:
x=2cost y=2sint z=0

so we get
<br /> _{c}\oint F*dr= (2z)dx+(3x)dy+(5y)dz<br />

i can't understand the next step<br /> <br /> _{c}\oint F*dr= (2z)dx+(3x)dy+(5y)dz=\intop_{0}^{2\pi}[0+(6cost)(2cost)+0]dt<br />
why??

<br /> <br /> it comes from x=2cost y=2sint z=0 …<br /> <br /> (and so dy = 2cost dt) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":wink:" title="Wink :wink:" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=":wink:" />
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
