Green's Theorem

Green's Theorem: This theorem gives the relation between the plane, surface and the line integrals.

Statement: If R is a closed region in the xy-palne bounded by a simple closed curve C and M (x,y) and N (x,y) are continuous function having the partial derivatives in R then,

1. Verify Green's Theorem in the plane for where C is the boundary region enclosed by the parabola y2 = x and x2 = y.

Solution: We shall find the point of intersection of the parabolas

                   

     

and hence y = 0,1 the point of intersection are (0,0) and (1,1).
