Calculating line integrals with parameterization

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can't we just integrate it? And then put in the co-ordinates for respective vectors.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i think we are suppossed to do it with respect to t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The parameteric equation of the line is \[ r(t) =(x(t),y(t),z(t)= (1 + 4t, 0,0), 0\le t \le 1 \] The field is \[F(x,y,z)=(2x , 3 y,0)\\ F((x(t),y(t),z(t))=(2 + 8t,0,0)\\ F.dr= 8+ 16t\\ \int_0^1 (8+16 t)=24 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that i steh right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That was awesome. Wish I can give u a few medals :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With pleasure @samjordon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@eliassaab ummm like i need help in explaining one step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∫ 1 0 (8+16t)=24 how did u get that 16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The parameteric equation of the line is \[ r(t) =(x(t),y(t),z(t)= (1 + 4t, 0,0), 0\le t \le 1 \] The field is \[F(x,y,z)=(2x , 3 y,0)\\ F((x(t),y(t),z(t))=(2 + 8t,0,0)\\ F.dr= 8+ 32t\\ \int_0^1 (8+32 t)=24 \]

Sorry this was 32. t was a misprint. The answer is not changed. Since I did the computation with 32
