Chapter 15 - Section 15.5 - Surface Area - 15.5 Exercise - Page 1028: 8

Answer

The area of the surface $z$ is $$ A(S) =\frac{4}{15}\left(3^{5 / 2}-2^{7 / 2}+1\right) . $$

Work Step by Step

$$ z=\frac{2}{3}(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+y^{\frac{3}{2}}) $$ and $$ D=\left\{ (x, y) | 0\leq x\leq 1 , \quad 0 \leq y \leq1\right\}. $$ then $$ f_{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}, \quad f_{y}=y^{\frac{1}{2}} $$ and $$ \begin{aligned} A(S) &=\iint_{D} \sqrt{(\sqrt{x})^{2}+(\sqrt{y})^{2}+1} d A \\ & =\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{x+y+1} d y d x \\ &=\int_{0}^{1}\left[\frac{2}{3}(x+y+1)^{3 / 2}\right]_{y=0}^{y=1} d x \\ &=\frac{2}{3} \int_{0}^{1}\left[(x+2)^{3 / 2}-(x+1)^{3 / 2}\right] d x \\ &=\frac{2}{3}\left[\frac{2}{5}(x+2)^{5 / 2}-\frac{2}{5}(x+1)^{5 / 2}\right]_{0}^{1} \\ &=\frac{4}{15}\left(3^{5 / 2}-2^{5 / 2}-2^{5 / 2}+1\right) \\ &=\frac{4}{15}\left(3^{5 / 2}-2^{7 / 2}+1\right) \end{aligned} $$ Thus, the area of the surface $z$ is $$ A(S) =\frac{4}{15}\left(3^{5 / 2}-2^{7 / 2}+1\right) . $$
