QuestionEvaluate the integral where is the path from to via .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The integral is a line integral over a piecewise linear path.
2. The path consists of two segments: from to , and from to .
3. The line integral will be evaluated separately over each segment and then summed.
STEP 2
1. Parameterize the path from to .
2. Evaluate the line integral over the first segment.
3. Parameterize the path from to .
4. Evaluate the line integral over the second segment.
5. Sum the results from both segments.
STEP 3
Parameterize the path from to . This path is a horizontal line where and varies from 1 to 2. We can parameterize it as:
STEP 4
Substitute the parameterization into the integral and evaluate over the first segment:
Calculate the integral:
STEP 5
Parameterize the path from to . This path is a vertical line where and varies from 1 to 2. We can parameterize it as:
STEP 6
Substitute the parameterization into the integral and evaluate over the second segment:
Calculate the integral:
STEP 7
Sum the results from both segments to find the total integral:
The value of the integral is:
