Sagot :

A parametrization of path C is x= 4t and y = 8t

Line segments on nearly trivial to parametrize. It is often it easiest to do in interval t∈ [0,1]

Then we just need to think about what we need to add to each first coordinate to get the second

Since, 0+ 4 = 4  and 0+ 8 = 8

So, parametrization is

=> x = 4t

y = 6t

(b) To evalute the line integral, we have to derivate parametrize

dx/dt = 4

dy/dt = 8

So, the differential line element is

[tex]ds = \sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt})^2}[/tex]

=> √(4)²+(8)²

=> 4√5

Integrating ,

[tex]\int\limits_{c} {x^2 + y^2} \, ds\\ = \int\limits^1_0 {(4t)^2 + (8t)^2 } 4\sqrt{5} \,dt\\=4\sqrt{5} [\frac{80}{3} t^3]^{1}_{0}\\[/tex]

Putting the limits

=> 285.51
