Homework Statement



Compute the Work of the following line integrals in the vector field [tex]\vec{V}=(2x^{2}-3y;4xy;3x^{2}z)[/tex]

Homework Equations



For the following lines:

Curve1: [tex]\vec{r}(a)=(a,a,a^{2}); \ 0\le a \le 1[/tex]

Curve2: [tex]\vec{r}(a)=(a,a^{2},a); \ 0\le a \le 1[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



For the first Curve I got [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex] and for the second one [tex]\frac{121}{60}[/tex].

Is this correct?Thank you in advance

Hey guys, so the second one is correct ? This is the integral I figured for the first one:

[tex]\int _{0}^{1} -3a+2a^{2}+4a^{3}+6a^{5}da=\frac{7}{6}[/tex]Edit: there should be an integral symbol in front of the [tex]_{0}^{1}[/tex], seems it won't render. Sorry! Thanks for your feedbackBibhatsu
 
4xy = 4a2 when x=a and y=a.

The integral should be:

[tex]\int _{0}^{1} -3a+2a^{2}+4a^{2}+6a^{5}\,da[/tex]
