Let F =i+x^2j, and let C be the boundary of the region {(x, y):x^2 + y^2 ≤ 1 and x ≥ 0}: the right half of the unit disk. Find the outward flux of F across C.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given condition

To find the outward flux of the vector field  across the boundary Error converting from MathML to accessible text. of the region , which is the right half of the unit disk, we can use the Gauss's Divergence Theorem. This theorem relates the flux of a vector field across a closed curve to the divergence of the field over the enclosed region.

First, let's compute the divergence of :
