The flux across the circle
\(x^2 + y^2 = 9\) for the vector field
\(\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (3x, 2y)\) is 0

The flux ф across a curve C for a given vector field
\(F\) using the Flux Form of Green's Theorem, you can use the following formula:


\[\Phi = \iint_D \left((\partial Q)/(\partial x) - (\partial P)/(\partial y)\right) \,dA,\]

where D is the region bounded by the curve C and P and Q are the components of the vector field
\(F = \langle P, Q \rangle\).

For
\(\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (3x, 2y)\) and circle
\(x^2 + y^2 = 9\), we can parametrize the circle using polar coordinates:


\[x = r \cos \theta,\]


\[y = r \sin \theta,\]

where
\(r = 3\)

is the radius of the circle. The integral becomes:


\[\Phi = \int_(0)^(2\pi) \int_(0)^(3) \left((\partial(2r \cos \theta))/(\partial r) - (\partial(3r \sin \theta))/(\partial \theta)\right) r \,dr \,d\theta.\]

Let's compute this integral step by step:


\[ \int_(0)^(2\pi) \int_(0)^(3) (2\cos \theta - 3r \cos \theta) \,dr \,d\theta\]


\[\int_(0)^(2\pi) \left[\left(r\Big|_(0)^(3) \cdot (2\cos \theta - 3r \cos \theta)\right) - \int_(0)^(3) -3\cos \theta \,dr\right] \,d\theta\]


\[\int_(0)^(2\pi) \left[3(2\cos \theta) + \int_(0)^(3) 3\cos \theta \,dr\right] \,d\theta\]


\[\int_(0)^(2\pi) \left[6\cos \theta + 3r\cos \theta\Big|_(0)^(3)\right] \,d\theta\]


\[ \int_(0)^(2\pi) \left[18\cos \theta + 9\cos \theta\right] \,d\theta\]


\[ \int_(0)^(2\pi) 27\cos \theta \,d\theta\]


\[ 27\int_(0)^(2\pi) \cos \theta \,d\theta\]


\[ 27\Big[\sin \theta\Big|_(0)^(2\pi)\Big]\]


\[27(0)\]


\[= 0.\]

So, the flux across the circle
\(x^2 + y^2 = 9\) for the vector field
\(\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (3x, 2y)\) is 0

For the second problem, with
\(F(x, y) = (xy, x - y)\) and the boundary of the square
\([-1, 1] times
[-1, 1]\),you need to parametrize the square and perform a similar integration as shown above. If you'd like assistance with that specific problem, let me know!
