Use Green's Theorem to evaluate the line integral. Orient the curve counterclockwise.
, where C is the triangle with vertices (0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1).
Recall how to apply Green's Theorem. Let D be a domain whose boundary ∂D (diffD) is a simple closed curve, oriented counterclockwise. Then we have the following equation.
In the figure above, we see that ∂D = C is the triangle bounding the shaded region. In addition, the triangle is oriented counterclockwise as indicated in the problem statement.
Because C = ∂D, we note that is already in the correct form with
F1 =

B. |
C. |
D. |
and
F2 =

B. |
C. |
D. |
To apply Green's Theorem to solve , we will need to calculate the appropriate partial derivatives and find the appropriate bounds of integration for the double integral regarding domain of the triangle.
Calculate the partial derivatives (∂F2 / ∂x) and (∂F1 / ∂y) where F1 = and F2 =
.
(∂F2 / ∂x) =
(∂F1 / ∂y) =
Therefore we have (∂F2 / ∂x) − (∂F1 / ∂y) =
Find the appropriate bounds of integration for the double integral.
Notice that the triangle is bounded above by a segment of the line y = x and bounded below by the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1. We also see that the height of the region, y, is between 0 and x as x increases from 0 to 1.
With this information, use Green's Theorem to set up the appropriate double integral.
