Expert's answer

Evaluate the integral between (1,1) and (4,2): [(x+y)dx+(yx)dy][(x+y)dx + (y-x)dy] Along

a) a straight line.

b) straight lines from (1,1) to (1,2) and then to (4,2).

c) the curve x=2t2+t+1x = 2t^2 + t + 1, y=t2+1y = t^2 + 1.


L(x+y)dx+(yx)dy\int_L (x + y) \, dx + (y - x) \, dy


a) The equation of the straight line passing through the points (1,1) and (4,2) is x141=y121\frac{x-1}{4-1} = \frac{y-1}{2-1}, so y=13x+23y = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3} and dy=13dxdy = \frac{1}{3}dx, hence


L(x+y)dx+(yx)dy=14((x+13x+23)+(13x+23x)×13)dx==14(109x+89)dx=(59x2+89x)14=(809+3295989)=11\begin{aligned} \int_L (x + y) \, dx + (y - x) \, dy &= \int_1^4 \left( \left(x + \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}\right) + \left( \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3} - x \right) \times \frac{1}{3} \right) dx = \\ &= \int_1^4 \left( \frac{10}{9}x + \frac{8}{9} \right) dx = \left( \frac{5}{9}x^2 + \frac{8}{9}x \right) \Bigg|_{1}^{4} = \left( \frac{80}{9} + \frac{32}{9} - \frac{5}{9} - \frac{8}{9} \right) = 11 \end{aligned}


b) The equation of the straight line passing through the points (1,1) and (1,2) is x=1x = 1, so dx=0dx = 0. The equation of the straight line passing through the points (1,2) and (4,2) is y=2y = 2, so dy=0dy = 0.

Hence


L(x+y)dx+(yx)dy=12(y1)dy+14(x+2)dx=(y22y)12+(x22+2x)14==(42212+1)+(162+8122)=14\begin{aligned} \int_L (x + y) \, dx + (y - x) \, dy &= \int_1^2 (y - 1) \, dy + \int_1^4 (x + 2) \, dx = \left( \frac{y^2}{2} - y \right) \Bigg|_{1}^{2} + \left( \frac{x^2}{2} + 2x \right) \Bigg|_{1}^{4} = \\ &= \left( \frac{4}{2} - 2 - \frac{1}{2} + 1 \right) + \left( \frac{16}{2} + 8 - \frac{1}{2} - 2 \right) = 14 \end{aligned}


c) x=2t2+t+1x = 2t^2 + t + 1, y=t2+1y = t^2 + 1

dx=(4t+1)dt and dy=2tdtdx = (4t + 1)dt \text{ and } dy = 2t \, dt


When (1,1), then 2t2+t+1=12t^2 + t + 1 = 1 and t2+1=1t^2 + 1 = 1, so t=0t = 0.

When (4,2), then 2t2+t+1=42t^2 + t + 1 = 4 and t2+1=2t^2 + 1 = 2, so t=1t = 1.


L(x+y)dx+(yx)dy=01((2t2+t+1+t2+1)(4t+1)+(t2+12t2t1)2t)dt==01(10t3+5t2+9t+2)dt=(5t42+5t33+9t22+2t)01=(52+53+92+2)=1023\begin{aligned} \int_L (x + y) \, dx + (y - x) \, dy &= \int_0^1 \left( (2t^2 + t + 1 + t^2 + 1)(4t + 1) + (t^2 + 1 - 2t^2 - t - 1)2t \right) dt = \\ &= \int_0^1 (10t^3 + 5t^2 + 9t + 2) dt = \left( \frac{5t^4}{2} + \frac{5t^3}{3} + \frac{9t^2}{2} + 2t \right) \Bigg|_{0}^{1} = \left( \frac{5}{2} + \frac{5}{3} + \frac{9}{2} + 2 \right) = 10\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}
