Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've done the 1st 3 parts (I think) - can anyone check whether they agree with my answers please. For part (iv) I've parametrised it as follows but can't see how to do the integration.
My answers for parts (i)-(iii):
(i) \frac{69}{70}
(ii) \frac{29}{3}
(iii) \frac{1}{4}(96+\pi- 24\pi ^2 + \pi ^4)
My attempt at part (iv) - how do I do the integration?
{\bf p}(t) = (\text{cos}^3\,t , \text{sin}^3\,t , 1)\;\;\;\;0\leq t \leq \frac{\pi}{2}
{\bf p}'(t) = (-3\text{sin}\,t\,\text{cos}^2\,t, 3\text{sin}^2\,t\,\text{cos}\,t , 0)\;\;\;\;0\leq t \leq \frac{\pi}{2}
And so the integral equals:
\displaystyle \int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 \left[ xy\frac{dx}{dt} + yz\frac{dy}{dt} + zx\frac{dz}{dt} \right]\;dt = \int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 \left[ 3\text{cos}^5\,t\,\text{sin}^4\,t\, + 3\text{sin}^5\,t\,\text{cos}\,t \right]\;dt
