Evaluate the given integrals - line integrals

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating line integrals, specifically question 37. For part (a), the integral evaluates to 288/35 after performing the necessary calculations. In part (b), integrals from (0,0,0) to (0,0,1) and (0,0,0) to (0,1,1) both yield a result of 0, while the integral from (0,1,1) to (2,1,1) results in 10. Part (c) involves a parametric form leading to an integral that evaluates to 8, with suggestions for potential improvements in the approach. Overall, the methodologies presented are deemed correct, with minor typos noted.

My interest is on question ##37##. Highlighted in Red.

For part (a) I have the following lines;

##\int_c A. dr = 4t(2t+3) +2t^5 + 3t^2(t^4-2t^2) dt ##

##\left[\dfrac {8t^3}{3}+ 6t^2+\dfrac{t^6}{3} + \dfrac{3t^7}{7} - \dfrac{6t^5}{5}\right]_0^1##


##=\dfrac{288}{35}##

For part (b) for ##(0,0,0)## to ##(0,0,1)## i was having ##dx=0, dy=0##.

##\int_{ z=0}^1 (0×z-0) dz=0##

also for ##(0,0,0)## to ##(0,1,1)## where ##dx=0## and ##dz=0##

##\int_{y=0}^1 (0 . 0) dy=0##

from ##(0,1,1)## to ##(2,1,1)##


##\int_{x=0}^2 (2+3)dx=[5x]_0^2 = 10## not sure about this approach... need to recheck or give direction.

lastly,

for part (c),

from ##(0,0,0)## t0 ##(2,1,1)## we have the parametric form,

##x=2t, y=t, z=t##

Therefore,

##\int_0^1 [(2t+3)2 + 2t^2 +t^2-2t]dt##

##=\int_0^1 [4t+6 + 2t^2 +t^2-2t]dt##

##=[2t^2+6t+\dfrac{2t^3}{3}+\dfrac{t^3}{3}- t^2 ]_0^1= [t^2+t^3+6t]_0^1=8##

there could be a better approach.

cheers.
