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

Printed textbook page with calculus problems 34 to 39 on line integrals and vector fields, including problem 37 with parts (a), (b) and (c) and their answers.



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.
