Homework Hint

Griffiths: Problem 1.29

Comments: The "boundary line" for this function is simply the edges of the square that you are integrating over. In Ex. 1.7, the same boundary line applies to the 5 sides of the cube.

If the integrals for the six sides of the box sum to zero, then the divergence is zero for this volume. Can you show it isn't?
