Green's Theorem | Mathquery
Green's Theorem: Statement :- If a domain E, regular with respect to both the axes , is bounded by a contour C , and f and g are two single - valued functions which along with their partial derivatives ∂f/∂y and ∂g/∂x are continuous on E , then ∫∫ (∂g/∂x - ∂f/∂y) dx dy = ∫ (f dx + g dy ) E C where the line integral is taken in the positive direction . Proof :- Let us first consider a function f which , alongwith its partial derivative ∂f/∂y ,is continuous on a region E , regular with respect to y-axis . Let E be bounded by contour C , consisting of the curves y= φ(x) , y= ψ(x) , x = a , x = b , such that φ(x) ≤ ψ(x) , ∀ x ∈ [a,b] we have ∫∫ ∂f(x,y)/∂y dx dy E b ψ(x) = ∫ dx ∫ ∂f(x,y)/∂y dy
