To find the reciprocal of a number, just flip the numerator and the denominator around.

A. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.

C. Firstly, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator to that product. After that, put the quantity on the numerator. In this case, 6 x 6 = 36 and 36 + 1 = 37, so our improper fraction is 37/6. Next, just flip the numerator and denominator around, and your reciprocal is 6/37.

Use the Divergence Theorem to evaluate S F · dS, where F(x, y, z) = z2xi + y3 3 + sin z j + (x2z + y2)k and S is the top half of

GenaCL600 [577]

Close off the hemisphere $S$ by attaching to it the disk $D$ of radius 3 centered at the origin in the plane $z=0$ . By the divergence theorem, we have

$\displaystyle\iint_{S\cup D}\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\vec F(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where $R$ is the interior of the joined surfaces $S\cup D$ .

Compute the divergence of $\vec F$ :

$\mathrm{div}\vec F(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(xz^2)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial\left(\frac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x^2z+y^2)}{\partial k}=z^2+y^2+x^2$

Compute the integral of the divergence over $R$ . Easily done by converting to cylindrical or spherical coordinates. I'll do the latter:

$\begin{cases}x(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\cos\theta\sin\varphi\\y(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\sin\theta\sin\varphi\\z(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\cos\varphi\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}x^2+y^2+z^2=\rho^2\\\mathrm dV=\rho^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi\end{cases}$

So the volume integral is

$\displaystyle\iiint_Rx^2+y^2+z^2\,\mathrm dV=\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3\rho^4\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi=\frac{486\pi}5$
