Homework Statement



Evaluate the line integral,

[tex]\int_{C}x^{2}yzds, \text{ where C is the curve } z = x + y, \quad x + y + z = 1\text{ from }(1,\frac{-1}{2},\frac{1}{2}) \text{ to } (-3, \frac{7}{2}, \frac{1}{2})[/tex]

Homework Equations

It lists the correct answer as, [tex]\frac{37\sqrt{2}}{3}[/tex] solved with different parametric equations and bounds for t as well.

What am I doing wrong?
