Surface Integral - Mean Value Property

98 Views Asked by At

I have been given this question to solve however I'm having some difficulty solving it as I am quite new to Partial Differential Equations:

Let $ a = (2,2) $ and $ r =5 $

Compute the following surface integral

$$ A := \int_{\partial{B}(a,r)}\frac{x}{x^2+y^2}{dS}$$

I have been given the hint: try to use the mean value formula rather than computing the actual surface integral.

I have the mean value formula in my notes as:

$$ u(x) = {\int\!\!\!\!\!\!-}_{B(x,r)}u(y)dy = {\int\!\!\!\!\!\!-}_{\partial B(x,r)}u(y)dS(y)$$

However I'm struggling to apply this formula to the given function in the question
