from the point (0, 0, 0) to the point (1, 1, 1).
Solution. Let F = ∇f . So fx = 4x3 + 4xy, which implies that
Z
f = 4x3 + 4xydx = x4 + 2x2 y + c1 (y, z)

for some c1 (y, z). Substituting f = x4 + 2x2 y + c1 (y, z) into fy yields

∂
fy = 2x2 + c1 (y, z) = 2x2 + 2y,
∂y
∂
which implies that c1 (y, z) = 2y. Thus,
∂y
Z
c1 (y, z) = 2ydy = y 2 + c2 (z)

for some c2 (z). Substitute f = x4 + 2x2 y + c1 (y, z) = x4 + y 2 + c2 (z) int fz and we obtain that
d
c2 (z) = 2z,
dz
which gives that c2 (z) = z 2 + c for some constant c. Then f = x4 + 2x2 y + z 2 is a potential function for
F(x, y, z) = h4x3 + 4xy, 2x2 + 2y, 2zi. Using FTLI gives

F · dr = f (1, 1, 1) − f (0, 0, 0) = 4

z = 4 − x − y that is above the rectangular region R = [0, 1] × [0, 1] on the xy-plane with upward normal vectors.

Solution. We take parametric equation for S as r(x, y) = hx, y, 4 − x2 − y 2 i, (x, y) ∈ R. Then, rx = h1, 0, −2xi, ry =
h0, 1, −2yi and

Since S has upward orientation, we take n = rx × ry /|rx × ry | and have that
