Calculating Line Integral of I Using Green's Theorem

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The problem involves calculating a line integral defined by I = Integral F . dr, where F is a vector field given by (x-y, xy). The contour C is described as a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (1,0), and (1,3), oriented anticlockwise. The context suggests the application of Green's Theorem to evaluate the integral.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need for the original poster to show their work and make an attempt at the problem. There are suggestions to clarify the statement of Green's Theorem and relate it to the specific problem at hand.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants emphasizing the importance of making an initial attempt and providing relevant details about Green's Theorem. There is no explicit consensus yet, as participants are exploring different aspects of the problem and its requirements.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of the original poster's lack of LaTeX typesetting skills, which may affect the clarity of the mathematical expressions involved in the discussion. Additionally, there is a note that the question may not fit the Precalculus category, suggesting a need for a more advanced understanding.

The Integral I is defined by

I = Integral F . dr Where F = (x-y, xy) << This is a vertical vector, i just didn'nt know how to write it with latex.

And C is a triangle with the vertices (0,0), (1,0) and (1,3) tracked anticlockwise.


Calculate the line integral using greens theorem




Any help would be much appreciated!


Thanks


PS sorry about my lack of LaTeX typesetting

You need to make an attempt and show your work before you're going to get any help. A good place to start would be to see what Green's theorem says.
 
Also, this is hardly a Precalculus question. That's what the Calculus & Beyond section is for.
 
You should make an effort to learn how to use LaTeX, particularly for this problem as the typesetting will make the equations much easier to read. Click on the following link for an intro to LaTeX.

I saw in your duplicate thread before it got deleted a vague description of Green's theorem, lacking a lot of important details. Try giving us the theorem in the form of an equation (you'll get to try out LaTeX!) and relate the quantities involved to those in this problem.
