ANSWER:

Solution 21E

Divergence Theorem represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field  F = 〈y - 2x, - y,  - z〉 with surface region bounded by the sphere {(x, y, z): ++= 4}

Divergence Theorem :                 (F.n)ds =div F dv 

                                                                                    

                                                       Closed surface         triple

                                                                              integral               integral

where  D: a closed and bounded region

S: boundary surface  of D oriented outward direction

n: normal to surface  

Step 1: 

First solve the divergence of F () = 〈y - 2x, - y,  - z

Vector form  of F= 〈(y - 2x) i, - y) j,  - z )k

 F =  i+ j+ k

We know ++)

        =++

       =( -2) +(-1)+(-1)

    = -4
