(1) This surface is the graph of the function f (x, y) = 18 − 18x − 9y. To be in the first octant,
we must have z ≥ 0, so 18x + 9y ≤ 18. This simplifies to 2x + y ≤ 2. Thus the region in the
xy-plane lying below S is bounded by 2x + y = 2, x = 0, and y = 0. This is the triangle
with vertices (0, 0), (1, 0), and (0, 2), which has bounds 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 − 2x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.
Using the formula for surface integrals of graphs , we get

(2) The parameterization is given as r(u, v) = hu + v, u − v, 1 + 2u + vi with 0 ≤ u ≤ 9 and
0 ≤ v ≤ 5. The tangent vectors are ru = h1, 1, 2i and rv = h1, −1, 1i, and the

is h1, 1, 2i × h1, −1, 1i = h3, 1, −2i. The magnitude of the normal vector is 14.

(4) We use the graph parameterization r(x, y) = hx, y, 8 − x2 − y 2 i, with 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1.
The tangent vectors are rx = h1, 0, −2xi and ry = h0, 1, −2yi, and the normal vector is
h−2x, −2y, 1i. Note that this is upward-pointing, so we have the correct orientation.
F(r(x, y)) = F(x, y, 8 − x2 − y 2 ) = hxy, y(8 − x2 − y 2 ), x(8 − x2 − y 2 )i. The surface integral

(5) We use the graph parameterization r(x, y) = hx, y, 9 − x − yi. The region above the 1st
octant is the region above the triangle bounded by x = 0, y = 0, and x + y = 9, which has
bounds 0 ≤ x ≤ 9, 0 ≤ y ≤ 9 − x.
The tangent vectors are rx = h1, 0, −1i and ry = h0, 1, −1i. The normal vector is h1, 1, 1i,
which is upwards-pointing, so we have the correct orientation.

(6) We parameterize the cone as r(u, v) = hu cos(v), u sin(v), ui. The z-coordinate is bounded
below by 0 and above by 3, so 0 ≤ u ≤ 3, while v can take any angle between 0 and 2π.
The tangent vectors are ru = hcos(v), sin(v), 1i and rv = h−u sin(v), u cos(v), 0i, and the
normal vector is h−u cos(v), −u sin(v), ui. Because u ≥ 0, this is upwards-pointing, so we
have the correct orientation.
F(r(u, v)) = F(u cos(v), u sin(v), u) = hu cos(v), u sin(v), u4 i. We get the surface integral
