Green theorem verifying problem

311 Views Asked by At

I am trying to solve a Green's theorem verify problem. Here is the problem:

$Verify\;Greeen's\;theorem\;in\;the\;plane\;for \int_c\{(xy\;+y^2)dx\;+x^2dy\}, \;where\;C\;is\;the\;closed\;curve\;of\;the\;region\;bounded\;by\;y=x\;and\;y=x^2.$

Here is my solution:

First of all, the point of intersection of $y=x^2\;$and $y=x$ is $(1,1)$, thus, from that perspective,

we know green theorem goes this way,

$\int_C[X\;dx\;+\;Y\;dy]\;=\;\iint[\frac{\partial Y}{\partial x}$-$\frac{\partial X}{\partial y}]\;dx\;dy$

$ LHS:\\[10pt]\int_c[X\;dx+Ydy]\\[10pt]=\int_cXdx+\int_cYdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1Xdx+\int_0^1Ydy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1(xy+y^2)dx+\int_0^1x^2dy\\[10pt]Solving \;this\;further,\;I\;am\;getting,\\[10pt]=\frac{3y^2+2x^2}{2},\quad putting \;x=1\;and\;y=1, we\;get,\\[10pt]=\frac{5}{2} $

Now, solving, RHS, we get,

$ RHS: \\[10pt]\iint_R[\frac{\partial Y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial X}{\partial y}]dxdy\\[10pt]=\iint_R\frac{\partial Y}{\partial x}dxdy-\iint_R\frac{\partial X}{\partial y}dxdy\\[10pt]=I_1+I_2\\[10pt]I_1:\\[10pt]\iint_R\frac{\partial Y}{\partial x}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1\frac{\partial Y}{\partial x}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1\frac{\partial x^2}{\partial x}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^12x\;dxdy\\[10pt]=2\int_0^1\int_0^1x\;dxdy\\[10pt]=2\int_0^1\vert\frac{x^2}{2}\vert_0^1\;dy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1dy\\[10pt]=1 $

$ I_2:\\[10pt]\iint_R\frac{\partial X}{\partial y}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1\frac{\partial X}{\partial y}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1\frac{\partial(xy+y^2)}{\partial y}dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1(x+2y)dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\int_0^1x\;dxdy+\int_0^1\int_0^12y\;dxdy\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\vert\frac{x^2}{2}\vert_0^1\;dy+2\int_0^1\vert\frac{y^2}{2}\vert_0^1\;dx\\[10pt]=\int_0^1\frac{1}{2}dy+\int_0^1dx\\[10pt]=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1dy+\int_0^1dx\\[10pt]=\frac{1}{2}+1\;=\;\frac{3}{2} $

Now adding, $I_1+I_2,$ we get $=1-\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, as you can see, LHS $\neq$ RHS, if $I_2$ would have be $+\frac{3}{2},$ then in that case, $LHS$ would have been equal to $RHS$. But, right not it is not, so can anyone tell me where it is wrong?

Make sure that you are taking the limits correctly. Also in case of line integral, the path of $\ C$ is traversed in a counter-clock-wise sense, i.e in the direction of travel around $\ C$ in which the interior of $\ S$ lies on the left.

Now in case of surface integral, if you consider a small horizontal strip and move it vertically in the region to cover the whole region, then the strip moves from $\ y=x^2$ to $\ y=x$. So the limits of $\ y$ will be $\ x^2$ to $\ x$.

Now if you consider a small vertical strip and move it horizontally to cover the whole region, it will move from $\ x=0$ to $\ x=1$. So the limits of $\ x$ will be $\ 0$ to $\ 1$
