Answer:

∫C (x - 3y) dx + (x y) dy = π/2

Explanation:

To apply Green's theorem, we need to first find the curl of the given vector field:

curl(F) = ∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y

where P = x - 3y and Q = xy

∂Q/∂x = y and ∂P/∂y = -3

So, curl(F) = y + 3

Now, we need to find the double integral of curl(F) over the region D between the given curves:

∬D curl(F) dA = ∫θ2θ1 ∫1/3R R (r sinθ + 3) r dr dθ (converting to polar coordinates)

where R = 3 and 1/3 respectively, and θ1 and θ2 are the limits of integration.

Solving the integral, we get:

∬D curl(F) dA = π/2

Thus, by Green's theorem, we have:

∫C (x - 3y) dx + (x y) dy = π/2

where C is the boundary of the region D, i.e., the curves x2y2 = 1 and x2y2 = 9. However, finding the line integral directly would be quite complicated, so it is much easier to use Green's theorem in this case.
