Surface Area

Calculus Level pending

What is the area of the curved surface represented by the parametric equations x = u 2 , y = u v , z = 1 2 v 2 , x = u^2, y = uv, z = \frac{1}{2}v^2, where 0 u 2 0 \leq u \leq 2 and 0 v 2 0 \leq v \leq 2 ?

Let us take the region R = x [ 0 , 4 ] , z [ 0 , 2 ] , y = f ( x , z ) = 2 x z R = x \in [0,4], z \in [0,2], y = f(x,z) = \sqrt{2xz} . The required surface area of R R can be computed according to:

S = R 1 + f x 2 + f z 2 d A = 0 4 0 2 1 + ( z 2 x ) 2 + ( x 2 z ) 2 d z d x = 0 4 0 2 2 x z + x 2 + z 2 2 x z d z d x = 0 4 0 2 x + z 2 x z d z d x = 16 . \large S = \int \int_{R} \sqrt{1 + f^{2}_{x} + f^{2}_{z}} dA = \int_{0}^{4} \int_{0}^{2} \sqrt{1 + (\sqrt{\frac{z}{2x}})^{2} + (\sqrt{\frac{x}{2z}})^{2}} dz dx = \int_{0}^{4} \int_{0}^{2} \sqrt{ \frac{2xz + x^{2} + z^{2}}{2xz}} dz dx = \int_{0}^{4} \int_{0}^{2} \frac{x + z}{\sqrt{2xz}} dz dx = \boxed{16}.
