Chapter 15 - Section 15.5 - Surface Area - 15.5 Exercise - Page 1029: 20

Answer

$\approx 2.695884$

Work Step by Step

The surface area of the part $z=f(x,y)$ can be written as: $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(f_x)^2+(f_y)^2} dx \ dy$ and, $\iint_{D} dA$ is the projection of the surface on the xy-plane. Now, the area of the given surface is: $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt{1+(\dfrac{2x}{1+y^2})^{2}+(\dfrac{-2y(1+x^2)}{1+y^2})^{2}} d A \\ =\iint_{D} \sqrt{1+\dfrac{4x^2}{(1+y^2)^2}+\dfrac{4y^2(1+x^2)^2}{(1+y^2)^4}} d A \\=\iint_{D} \dfrac{1}{(1+y^2)^2} \sqrt {(1+y^2)^4+4x^2 (1+y^2)^2+4y^2(1+x^2)^2} dA $ We can use the polar co-ordinates because of the part $x^2+y^2$ Therefore, by using a calculator, we have: $A(S)=4 \int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{1-x}\dfrac{1}{(1+y^2)^2} \sqrt {(1+y^2)^4+4x^2 (1+y^2)^2+4y^2(1+x^2)^2} dy dx \approx 2.695884$
