Q 1: R is a closed planar region as shown by the shaded area in the figure below. Its boundary C consists of the circles C1 and C2.

If F1(x, y), F2(x, y), \frac{\partial F_1}{\partial y} and \frac{\partial F_2}{\partial x} are all continuous everywhere in R, Green’s theorem states that

\iint_R\left(\frac{\partial F_2}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial F_1}{\partial y}\right)\operatorname dx\operatorname dy=\int_C\left(F_1\operatorname dx+F_2\operatorname dy\right)
