2. Show that the vector field
F(x, y, z) = hey , xey + ez , yez i
R
is conservative, and use this fact to evaluate C F· dr where C is the line segment from (0, 2, 0)
to (4, 0, 3).
Solution A vector field F = hP, Q, Ri is conservative if
Ry = Qz ,
Pz = Rx ,
Qx = Py .
From
Ry = ez = Qz ,
Pz = 0 = Rx ,
Qx = ey = Py ,
we find that F is in fact conservative. To evaluate the line integral efficiently, we need to find
a function f such that ∇f = F. To that end, we obtain
Z
f (x, y, z) = P dx = xey + g(y, z).
The requirement that fy = Q yields the equation
gy (y, z) = Q(x, y, z) − (xey )y = ez .
Solving the equation for gy yields
g(y, z) = yez + h(z).
The requirement that fz = R yields the equation
h0 (z) = R(x, y, z) − (xey + yez )z = 0.
It follows that h(z) = K where K is an arbitrary constant, and therefore
f (x, y, z) = xey + yez + K.
From the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, we obtain

4. If f (x, y, z) and g(x, y, z) are twice differentiable functions, show that
∇2 (f g) = f ∇2 g + g∇2 f + 2∇f · ∇g,
where ∇2 f = ∇ · (∇f ).
Solution We have
∇2 (f g) = ∇ · (∇(f g))
= ∇ · h(f g)x , (f g)y , (f g)z i
= ∇ · hfx g + f gx , fy g + f gy , fz g + f gz i

= f (gxx + gyy + gzz ) + g(fxx + fyy + fzz ) + 2(fx gx + fy gy + fz gz )
= f ∇ · (∇g) + g∇ · (∇g) + 2∇f · ∇g
= f ∇2 g + g∇2 f + 2∇f · ∇g.
5. Evaluate the surface integral
Z Z

S
where S is the part of the plane z = 4 + x + y that lies inside the cylinder x2 + y 2 = 4.
Solution We use the parametric equations
x = u cos v,
y = u sin v,
0 ≤ u ≤ 2,
z = 4 + u cos v + u sin v,
0 ≤ v ≤ 2π,
for which
ru = hcos v, sin v, cos v + sin vi,
rv = h−u sin v, u cos v, −u sin v + u cos vi,
√
ru × rv = h−u, −u, ui, kru × rv k = 3|u|.

6. Evaluate the surface integral
Z Z
F · dS,
S
where
F(x, y, z) = hxz, −2y, 3xi
and S is the sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 4 with outward orientation.
Solution We use spherical coordinates
x = 2 sin φ cos θ,
y = 2 sin φ sin θ,
z = 2 cos φ,
0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π,
0 ≤ φ ≤ π,
which yields
rφ = h2 cos φ cos θ, 2 cos φ sin θ, −2 sin φi,
rθ = h−2 sin φ sin θ, 2 sin φ cos θ, 0i,
rφ × rθ = 4 sin φhsin φ cos θ, sin φ sin θ, cos φi,
which has outward orientation since 4 sin φ ≥ 0 for 0 ≤ φ ≤ π. We then have

7. Use Stokes’ Theorem to evaluate C F· dr, where F(x, y, z) = hxy, yz, xzi and C is the triangle
with vertices (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1), oriented counterclockwise as viewed from above.
Hint: to obtain an equation for the surface enclosed by C, compute the equation of a plane
containing the vertices.
Solution Using the given vertices, it can be determined that S is contained within the plane
x + y + z = 1. We therefore describe S using the parametric equations
x = u,
y = v,
z = 1 − u − v,
0 ≤ u ≤ 1,
0 ≤ v ≤ 1 − u,
which yields
ru = h1, 0, −1i,
rv = h0, 1, −1i,
and the normal vector
ru × rv = h1, 1, 1i,
which is consistent with the counterclockwise orientation of C (that is, when traversing C
such that this normal vector, which points upward, is visible, then the region S is on the left.
Applying Stokes’ Theorem yields

= h(xz)y − (yz)z , (xy)z − (xz)x , (yz)x − (xy)y i
= h−y, −z, −xi.
We then have
curl F · (ru × rv ) = h−y, −z, −xi · h1, 1, 1i = −(x + y + z),
and thus
curl F(u, v) · (ru × rv ) = −(u + v + 1 − u − v) = −1.
We conclude that

9. (Bonus) Let
f (x, y, z) = x2 y 3 z 4 ,
g(x, y, z) = x4 + y 3 + z 2 ,
and let
ω = f dx + g dy,
η = f dx dz + g dy dz
be a 1-form and a 2-form, respectively. Compute ω ∧ η and dω.
Solution We have
ω ∧ η = (f dx + g dy)(f dx dz + g dy dz)
= f 2 dx dx dz + f g dy dx dz + f g dx dy dz + g 2 dy dy dz
= 0 − f g dx dy dz + f g dx dy dz + 0
= 0,
and
dω = df dx + dg dy
= (fx dx + fy dy + fz dz) dx + (gx dx + gy dy + gz dz) dy
= fx dx dx + fy dy dx + fz dz dx + gx dx dy + gy dy dy + gz dz dy
= (gx − fy ) dx dy + fz dz dx − gz dy dz
= (4x3 − 3x2 y 2 z 4 ) dx dy + 4x2 y 3 z 3 dz dx − 2z dy dz.
