In this problem, we are given a two -dimensional vector field for which we want to evaluate its line integral over curve c, where curve c is equal to the combined paths of c1 and c2.
00:14
Let's start by drawing our paths.
00:24
So c1 corresponds to a line equation where x is equal to 0 and y is equal to t, for t ranging from minus 1 to 1.
00:38
So c1 will start at minus 1 and end at 1 along the x -axis.
00:52
Next, we notice that c2 has the equation of a circle, but only a semi -circle because the angle is constrained between pi over 2 and 3 pi over 2, and the circle has a radius of 1.
01:07
So the circle starting at pi over 2 will connect to the start and end of c1, like so.
01:19
So this is the path for our integral.
01:27
So we want to evaluate f dot dr over this entire path, which will equal to f dot dr over c1 plus f dot dr over c2.
01:50
Now, how do we evaluate f dot dr? this can be written as the integral of f dot r prime of t dt, and in this case, t for c1 ranges from minus 1 to 1.
02:18
And we'll do the same thing for our second part of our line integral.
02:24
This will be equal to the integral of f dot r prime t dt, where in this case, t ranges between pi over 2 to 3 pi over 2.
02:43
So now, let's calculate r prime of t for both of our paths.
02:51
R1 of t is equal to the position vector 0t, such that ry prime of t is equal to 0, 1.
03:08
R2 of t for our second path is equal to the position vector cos of t, sin of t, such that r prime 2 of t will give us minus sin t and cos t.
03:28
So now, we're going to tackle the dot product of these two derivatives with our vector field f.
03:39
So for our first path integral, f dot r prime will give us only the y component of f, which is 7y.
03:50
For our second path, f dot dr will give us minus 5x plus 6y times sin of t plus 7y cos t...
