Complete the statement with the correct term.
To compute a surface integral, the surface is described by two parameters, traditionally called and ______.
Word bank: x · n · k · v
Hints
- Count the dimensions of the object being described.
- A curve needs one parameter, so a surface needs one more.
Show the answer
To compute a surface integral, the surface is described by two parameters, traditionally called and v.
Why
A surface is two-dimensional, so two parameters are needed, just as one parameter suffices for a curve.
