Homework 8 of Matb 210 (Hand in to TA Wang Zhibo in Tutorial) due on
3/11/2014(Mon) for matb 210-002, on 5/11/2014(Wed) for matb 210-003.
Assignment: 14.8 Problems: 1, 16, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25.
1. Find the area of the portion of the plane z = x + 3y that lies inside the elliptical

2
cylinder with equation x4 + y9 = 1.
Solution. Think the plane as the graph of z = z(x, y) = x + 3y, so the surface
is parameterized by r(x, y) = (x, y, z(x, y)) = (x, y, x + 3y) where (x, y) lies

inside the region R : x4 + y9 1. Then the surface area is given by 1 dS =

1 + zx2 + zy2 dxdy =

R

3. Find the area of the part of the paraboloid z = 9 x2 y 2 that lies above the
plane z = 5.

4. Find the area of the part of the surface 2z = x2 that lies directly above the
triangle in the xy-plane with vertices at (0, 0), (1, 0) and (1, 1).

15 Find out the area of the part of the sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 = a2 that lies within the
cylinder x2 + y 2 = ay. (Hint: use cylindrical coordinates as in
lecture notes.)
Solution. Think the surface as the graph of z = z(x, y) = a2 x2 y 2 , so
the surface is parameterized by r(r, ) = (x, y, z(x, y)) = (x, y, a x2 y 2 )
where (x, y) lies inside
the region R : x2 + y 2 ay. Then the surface area is given

by 1 dS = R 1 + zx2 + zy2 dxdy =
