where S is a surface bounded by C.

[6]

(b) Consider F(x, y, z) = x2 i + 2xyj + 4y 2 k. Use Stokes Theorem to calculate

the work done (neglecting units) to move a particle along line segments from
(0, 0, 0) to (3, 0, 0) to (3, 2, 1) to (0, 2, 1) and back to (0, 0, 0). (Hint: There
is a plane containing those four points)
Solution: The four points form a parallelogram and thus there is a plane
connecting all of the points. The vectors h3, 0, 0i and h0, 2, 1i and thus
n = h3, 0, 0i h0, 2, 1i = h0, 3, 6i n
=

j + 2k

(Note that the curve is counterclockwise as viewed from above and thus
n
points upward.)
The equation of the plane itself is therefore z = 21 y and thus dS =

2. Let a differential equation be

(x2 + 4)y 00 xy 0 + y = 0.
[4]

(a) Can we be certain from the original equation of having a Maclaurin series
solution to the differential equation which is a general solution? If so, explain
how you know, and what is the radius of convergence R. If not, explain how
we can tell from the original differential equation that we may not get the
general solution.
Solution: Yes we get a general solution. This happened since x = 0 is
an ordinary point.
The radius of convergence and thus we have no guarantee that the Taylor
series centered at x = 0 will yield a general solution. The radius is the
distance to the nearest singular point which would be the distance from
x = 0 to x = 2i in the complex plane. Thus R = 2.

[2]

(b) Determine the radius of convergence of the series solution centered at x = 3.

Solution:
The radius is the distance to the nearest singular point which would
be the
from x = 3 to x = 2i in the complex plane. Thus

R = 3 + 2 = 13.
