1. Use Green's Theorem to compute  where C is the top half of a circle (centered at the origin) of radius 2 along with the straight line segment from (-2,0) to (2,0).

C is a simple closed curve and the partials are fine so Green's applies, producing . Both the region and the integrand look easier to handle in polar coordinates, so we convert to . This integral is straightforward and works out to 4.
 
 
 
2. Compute the curl of the vector field F(x,y,z) = i - 2x j + y k.

We set up the usual determinant  , which works out to (1-0)i + (0-0)j + (-2-0)k = i - 2k.
 
 
 
3. Compute the divergence of the vector field F(x,y,z) = xey i - ze-y j + y ln z k.

We work out the partials with respect to x, y, and z, and add them, to get ey + ze-y + y/z, a function found nowhere in nature.
