Chapter 15 - Multiple Integrals - 15.5 Surface Area - 15.5 Exercises - Page 1068: 13

Answer

$ \approx 3.6258$

Work Step by Step

We write the surface area of the part $z=f(x,y)$ as follows: $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(f_x)^2+(f_y)^2} dx \ dy$ and, $\iint_{D} dA$ defines the projection of the surface on the xy-plane. Our aim is to calculate the area of the given surface. $$A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(\dfrac{-2x}{(1+x^2+y^2)^2})^2+[\dfrac{-2y}{(1+x^2+y^2)^2}]^2} \space dA \\ =\int_{-1}^{1} \int_{-\sqrt {1-x^2}}^{\sqrt {1-x^2}} \sqrt {1+\dfrac{4x^2}{(1+x^2+y^2)^4}+(\dfrac{4y^2}{(1+x^2+y^2)^4}} dx \ dy$$ Now, by using calculator, we will have result as follows: $A(S)=\int_{-1}^{1} \int_{-\sqrt {1-x^2}}^{\sqrt {1-x^2}} \sqrt {1+\dfrac{4x^2}{(1+x^2+y^2)^4}+(\dfrac{4y^2}{(1+x^2+y^2)^4}} \space dx \space dy \approx 3.6258$
