For (i), our surface is the plane f(x,y) = 2 - x over the region 0 <= x <= 2 and 0 <= y <= 1. (The bounds for the x variable come from the constraint that this plane has to be in the first octant.) Thus, our integral becomes
∫∫σ𝜓(x,y,z) dS = ∫01∫02𝜓(x,y,f(x,y)) (fx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2 + 1)1/2 dxdy.
Here, we used the formula dS = (fx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2 + 1)1/2 dxdy when our surface is given by a function z = f(x,y). The subscripts fx and fy denote partial derivatives of f with respect to x and y.
Once we have our integral set up, we can pretty quickly evaluate it
∫01∫02𝜓(x,y,f(x,y)) (fx(x,y)+fy(x,y) + 1)1/2 dxdy = ∫01∫02x2y(2-x)√2 dxdy
= √2 ∫01ydy∫02x2(2-x)dx
= 2√2/3.
For (ii), our surface again is the plane f(x,y) = 2 - x over the region 0 <= x <= 2 and 0 <= y <= 1. Thus, our integral becomes
∫∫σ F•n dS = ∫01∫02 F(x,y,f(x,y))•n(fx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2 + 1)1/2 dxdy.
Again, we're using the formula dS = (fx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2 + 1)1/2 dxdy. Since our surface is a plane, we know the normal vector of the surface is N = <1,0,1>. This vector points out and up because of the positive x and z components, which is what we want. However, N is not a unit vector. We need to divide by its magnitude to the correct unit vector of the surface n = <1/√2,0,1/√2>. Given our unit vector, we're readying to plug everything into our integral to get
∫01∫02 F(x,y,f(x,y))•n(fx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2 + 1)1/2 dxdy = ∫01∫02 <y,2-x,x>•<1/√2,0,1/√2>√2 dxdy
= ∫01∫02 (y+x) dxdy
= 3.
