Answer

$\iint_D (f \nabla^2 g-g \nabla^2 f) dA=\oint_C (f\nabla g-g\nabla f) \cdot n ds$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\iint_Df \nabla^2 g dA=\oint_C f(\nabla g) \cdot n ds-\iint_D \nabla f \cdot \nabla g dA$ ..(1) This can be re-arranged as: $\iint_D g \nabla^2 g dA=\oint_C g(\nabla f) \cdot n ds-\iint_D \nabla g \cdot \nabla f dA$ ..(2) Now subtract the two equations: $\iint_D (f \nabla^2 g-g \nabla^2 f) dA=\oint_C (f\nabla g-g\nabla f) \cdot n ds$
