Consider the integral C F(r) d r , where F = [xy, -y 2 ].

Question:

Consider the integral ∫C F(r) • dr, where F = [xy, -y2].

(a) Find the value of the integral when r = [cos t, sin t], 0 ≤ t ≤ π/2. Show that the value remains the same if you set t = -p or t = por apply two other parametric transformations of your own choice.

(b) Evaluate the integral when C: y = xn, thus r = [t, tn], 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 where n = 1, 2, 3, · · ·. Note that these infinitely many paths have the same endpoints.

(c) What is the limit in (b) as n → ∞? Can you confirm your result by direct integration without referring to (b)?
