how to calculate $int_C frac{2xy^2dx-2yx^2dy}{x^2+y^2}$ using green theorm or directly

$begingroup$



Calculate $$int_C frac{2xy^2dx-2yx^2dy}{x^2+y^2},$$ where $C$ is the ellipse $3x^2 +5y^2 = 1$ taken in the positive direction.




I tried to calculate the integral using green theorm.



now i need to build enclosier that doesn't enclose $(0,0)$
i am having hard time guessing what to build.



a circle and ellipse might be perfect but then the domain is not easy to write. can i have hint please ?

    Are you sure it is a minus between the two terms in the numerator? Green's theorem doesn't seem to work if it is a minus, since $$P_y=frac{4xy}{x^2+y^2}\Q_x=-frac{4xy}{x^2+y^2}$$So $P_yne Q_x$

    oh right , anyway can i apply green therom here ? even if its not $0$ or the integral is too complex to calculate ?

    @JohnDoe are you sure? Shouldn't there be a $(x^2+y^2)^2$ in the denominator from quotient rule. I don't think it cancels.

    @AHusain Oh whoops, I didn't differentiate that properly, you''re right! However, even if you do differentiate it properly, it still doesn't give $P_y=Q_x$, the minus sign will still mess this up

We have



$$int_mathcal C frac{2xy^2mathrm dx-2x^2ymathrm dy}{x^2+y^2}=int_{3x^2+5y^2=1}frac{mathrm d(x^2)y^2-x^2mathrm d(y^2)}{x^2+y^2}tag1$$



Let $u=x^2, v=y^2$. Then we have



$$int_{3u+5v=1,quad u,vge0}left(frac{v}{u+v}mathrm du-frac{u}{u+v}mathrm dvright)tag2$$



We compute the first integral. The path is $3u+5v=1,quad u,vge0$, so $v=frac15-frac35 u$ and $uin[0,frac13]$.



$$int_mathcal Cfrac v{u+v}mathrm du=int_0^frac13frac{1-3u}{1+2u}=cdots=frac14left(5logfrac53-2right)$$



We compute the second integral. The path is $u=frac13-frac53 v$ with $vin[0,frac15]$.



$$int_mathcal Cfrac u{u+v}mathrm dv=int_0^frac15frac{1-5v}{1-2v}mathrm dv=cdots=frac14left(2-3logfrac53right)$$



Hence the amount that $(2)$ contributes to the total integral $(1)$ is$$frac14left(5logfrac53-2-2+3logfrac53right)=2logfrac53-1$$





Edit:



As pointed out in the comments, this change of co-ordinates was not a bijective map, so we have not included all the points on the ellipse by doing this calculation, we have only done it for $x,y>0$. For $x,y<0$, we would have the same path, but traversed backwards (i.e. the integration limits will be swapped), which would directly cancel out what we have computed here.



For $x>0,y<0$, we have the same path as in $(2)$, while for $x<0,y>0$, we have this path traversed backwards (you can see this by considering the ellipse traversed clockwise, seeing whether $x$, and correspondingly $u$, is increasing in magnitude or not). So again, these two contributions cancel. This is what gives $0$.

    @JohnDoe This isn't entirely correct. Your new coordinate system only maps a quarter of the ellipse. To go all the way around the ellipse, you must go forwards and backwards on the line in $(u,v)$ twice, making the integral $0$.

$begingroup$

You can evaluate the line integral directly by taking $mathbf r(t) = (cos(t)/sqrt 3, sin(t)/sqrt 5)$:
$$I = int_C mathbf F cdot dmathbf r =
-int_0^{2 pi} frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} dt =
-int_0^pi frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} +
int_0^pi frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} dt = 0.$$

Green's theorem still holds for $mathbf F$ even though $mathbf F$ doesn't have continuous partial derivatives at $(0, 0)$:
$$I = -iint_{3 x^2 + 5 y^2 leq 1} frac {4 x y} {x^2 + y^2} dx dy.$$
This form makes it clearer that the result is zero because of the symmetries wrt the coordinate axes.

    $$int_mathcal Cfrac v{u+v}mathrm du=int_0^frac13frac{1-3u}{1+2u}=cdots=frac14left(5logfrac53-2right)$$



    We compute the second integral. The path is $u=frac13-frac53 v$ with $vin[0,frac15]$.



    $$int_mathcal Cfrac u{u+v}mathrm dv=int_0^frac15frac{1-5v}{1-2v}mathrm dv=cdots=frac14left(2-3logfrac53right)$$



    Hence the amount that $(2)$ contributes to the total integral $(1)$ is$$frac14left(5logfrac53-2-2+3logfrac53right)=2logfrac53-1$$





    Edit:



    As pointed out in the comments, this change of co-ordinates was not a bijective map, so we have not included all the points on the ellipse by doing this calculation, we have only done it for $x,y>0$. For $x,y<0$, we would have the same path, but traversed backwards (i.e. the integration limits will be swapped), which would directly cancel out what we have computed here.



    For $x>0,y<0$, we have the same path as in $(2)$, while for $x<0,y>0$, we have this path traversed backwards (you can see this by considering the ellipse traversed clockwise, seeing whether $x$, and correspondingly $u$, is increasing in magnitude or not). So again, these two contributions cancel. This is what gives $0$.

      @JohnDoe This isn't entirely correct. Your new coordinate system only maps a quarter of the ellipse. To go all the way around the ellipse, you must go forwards and backwards on the line in $(u,v)$ twice, making the integral $0$.

    You can evaluate the line integral directly by taking $mathbf r(t) = (cos(t)/sqrt 3, sin(t)/sqrt 5)$:
    $$I = int_C mathbf F cdot dmathbf r =
    -int_0^{2 pi} frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} dt =
    -int_0^pi frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} +
    int_0^pi frac {sin 2 t} {4 + cos 2 t} dt = 0.$$

    Green's theorem still holds for $mathbf F$ even though $mathbf F$ doesn't have continuous partial derivatives at $(0, 0)$:
    $$I = -iint_{3 x^2 + 5 y^2 leq 1} frac {4 x y} {x^2 + y^2} dx dy.$$
    This form makes it clearer that the result is zero because of the symmetries wrt the coordinate axes.
