Evaluate the integral. Thank you!

One way to do that is to find dS is first to find the vector differential, $\d\vec{S}$. Then then scalar differential of surface area is the magnitude of that vector: $dS= |d\vec{S}|$. If a surface is given in parametric equations, x= f(u, v), y= g(u, v), z= h(u, v) then the two vectors $$ and $$ lie in the tangent plane and their cross product, $\times $ is perpendicular to the surface and is $d\vec{S}$ so its length is dS. Here, you are given the surface as z= f(x, y) so you can take x and y as the parameters u and v: x= u, y= v, z= f(u, v). Then the vector derivative with respect to u is $<1, 0, f_x>$, the vector derivative with respect to v is $<0, 1, f_y>$ and their cross product is $d\vec{S}= =$ and $dS= \sqrt{f_x^2+ f_y^2+ 1}dxdy$.

I understand how to set it up but it is the limits of integration and the actual integral that are bothering me! Thank you!

OKay, update! I have made it and gotten the integral from 0-2pi and 0-5 of r^2(sqrt(4r^2+1)) dr d(theta)
