∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ To apply Green's theorem in circulation form, we need to express the given double integral as a line integral over the curve $C$. Green's theorem states that $\iint_{R} (\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y}) dA = \oint_{C} P dx + Q dy$, where $P$ and $Q$ are the components of a vector field. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ The given double integral is $\iint_{R} (4x^3y - x^2) dA$. To use Green's theorem, we identify $P$ and $Q$ such that $\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = 4x^3y - x^2$. ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ Let's assume $P(x, y) = f(y)$ and $Q(x, y) = 4x^3y - g(x)$, where $f(y)$ and $g(x)$ are functions to be determined. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ Since $\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} = 12x^2y - g'(x)$ and $\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = f'(y)$, we need $12x^2y - g'(x) - f'(y) = 4x^3y - x^2$. ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ Comparing the terms, we see that $g'(x) = x^2$ and $f'(y) = 0$. Integrating, we get $g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^3 + C_1$ and $f(y) = C_2$, where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are constants of integration. ‖ ‖ step 6 ⋮ Since the constants of integration do not affect the derivatives, we can choose $g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^3$ and $f(y) = 0$. Thus, $P(x, y) = 0$ and $Q(x, y) = 4x^3y - \frac{1}{3}x^3$. ‖ ‖ step 7 ⋮ Applying Green's theorem, the line integral becomes $\oint_{C} P dx + Q dy = \oint_{C} 0 dx + (4x^3y - \frac{1}{3}x^3) dy$. ‖ ‖ step 8 ⋮ Simplifying the line integral, we get $\oint_{C} -\frac{1}{3}x^3 dy$. Since $C$ is negatively oriented, we need to reverse the sign, resulting in $\oint_{C} \frac{1}{3}x^3 dy$. ‖ ‖ step 9 ⋮ The correct line integral expression that corresponds to the given double integral using Green's theorem is $\oint_{C} \frac{1}{3}x^3 dy$. None of the answer choices match this expression exactly, but choice (B) is the closest if we consider a missing factor of $\frac{1}{3}$ in the $x^3 dy$ term. ‖ ∻1 Answer∻ ***B*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Green's theorem in circulation form⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Green's theorem relates a double integral over a region to a line integral around the boundary of the region.
