Question: Let S be the surface parametrized by R ( u , v )= u i + v j + a ( u + v )

Let S be the surface parametrized by R(u,v)=u i +v j +a(u+v) k , where 0u1, 0v1, and a is a parameter, and F the vector field defined by F(x,y,z)=x^2 i+xy j+(1z^2) k.

The surface S is oriented "upward."

(a) Find the Cartesian equation of S. What type of surface is it?

(b) For which value of the parameter a is the flux of F through S maximal?
