For Exercises \(12-23\), prove the given formula \((r=\|\mathbf{r}\|\) is the length of the position vector field \(\mathbf{r}(x, y, z)=x \mathbf{i}+y \mathbf{j}+z \mathbf{k})\). $$ \operatorname{div}(f \mathbf{F})=f \operatorname{div} \mathbf{F}+\mathbf{F} \cdot \nabla f $$
Suppose that \(\Delta u=0\) (i.e. \(u\) is harmonic) over \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\), Define the normal derivative \(\frac{\partial u}{\partial n}\) of \(u\) over a closed surface \(\Sigma\) with outward unit normal vector \(\mathbf{n}\) by \(\frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=D_{n} u=\mathbf{n} \cdot \nabla u,\) Show that \(\iint \frac{\partial u}{\partial n} d \sigma=0 .\) (Hint: Use Green's second identity.)
For Exercises \(1-4,\) use Green's Theorem to evaluate the given line integral around the curve \(C,\) traversed counterclockwise. $$ \oint_{C}\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right) d x+2 x y d y ; C \text { is the boundary of } R=\left\\{(x, y): 0 \leq x \leq 1,2 x^{2} \leq y \leq 2 x\right\\} $$
For Exercises \(1-6,\) find the Laplacian of the function \(f(x, y, z)\) in Cartesian coordinates. $$ f(x, y, z)=e^{-x^{2}-y^{2}-z^{2}} $$
Evaluate the surface integral \(\iint \mathbf{f} \cdot d \boldsymbol{\sigma},\) where \(\mathbf{f}(x, y, z)=x^{2} \mathbf{i}+x y \mathbf{j}+z \mathbf{k}\) and \(\Sigma\) is the part of the plane \(6 x+3 y+2 z=6\) with \(x \geq 0, y \geq 0,\) and \(z \geq 0,\) with the outward unit normal \(n\) pointing in the positive \(z\) direction.
