Find the work done by the force field F= 3yi - x^2j
in moving a particle along the curve y=x^(1/2) from (1,1) to (4,2)
so i parameterize and get x=1+3t, y= 1+t
so
3(1+t)-(1+t)^2
then take the derivative of x and y and multiple to ge
9(1+t)-(1+t)^2
and i integrate that from 0-1
and i get 13/2
but the answer should be 39/5
so my question is where am i going wrong
