Figure 9.8.9(a) contains a sketch of the region . The intersection of the plane and the paraboloid is a space curve whose projection to the -plane is the ellipse .

Implement the integral of over the interior of :

To compute the flux through , note that there are two boundaries, the upper one being the plane , and the lower one being the elliptic paraboloid . To compute the flux through the lower surface, note that on that surface

where N points downward on the paraboloid, and thus outward with respect to .
If this be integrated over the ellipse , the result is
=
On the upper boundary (the plane), the upward (and hence outward) normal is , so
on that surface. If this be integrated over the ellipse , the result is
=
The total flux through the boundaries of the region is then the sum
=
which matches the volume integral of the divergence of F inside .
