Homework Statement
Use Green's theorem to find the integral ∫C (y^2dx+xdy) when C is the following curve (taken counterclockwise): the ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 =1.
Homework Equations
Green's theorem: ∫C Mdx+Ndy = ∫∫R (∂N/∂x-∂M/∂y)dA
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried parametrizing the ellipse as r(t)=(acost,bsint), but didn't know how to go on...
I don't know how to solve the double integral over the ellipse ∫∫R (1-2y)dA.
Thanks.
