Homework Statement



evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve
x sin(y)

and line segment from 0,3 to 3,7


i know the formulas and how to do the integrals
the part I am getting stuck on is finding the parametic equation for the function
(x sin(y))
i need this in terms of t because i integrate it with respect to dt.

if you know how to get this to parmetric equations let me know.

You haven't given the equation of your curve. x sin(y) is just an expression. Please state your problem completely and accurately.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
