Preamble:

% this is the default PlanetMath preamble. as your knowledge
% of TeX increases, you will probably want to edit this, but
% it should be fine as is for beginners.

% almost certainly you want these

Content:

In this example, we examine the paraboloid given by the equation $z = x^2 + 3 y^3$. We have
$$\sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{\partial g}{\partial x} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial g}{\partial y} \right)^2} =$$
$$\sqrt{1 + \left( 2 x \right)^2 + \left( 6 y \right)^2} = \sqrt{ 4 x^2 + 36 y^2 }$$
and, hence
$$\int_S f(x,y) \, d^2 A = \int f(x,y) \sqrt{ 4 x^2 + 36 y^2 } \, dx \, dy.$$
