Calculate line integrals with parametrization

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the equation can be parameterized as following: R(t)=(x(t), y(t))= (0,3t) or R(t)=3tj F=3i+(y+5)j F(t)=3i+(3t+5)j

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now i need to find the line integral

OpenStudy (turingtest):

ok let me have my notes handy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its Int (F*dr)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it wld be int (3i+(3t+5)j)*(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i kinda guessed this stuff so idk int(3+9t+15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha i think i will just come back on a diff account :PPP

OpenStudy (turingtest):

3j, right? so we are just dotting those two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i am assuming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it look correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im back again

OpenStudy (turingtest):

as far as I can tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it wld be (18t+9/2t^2) with the upper limit 1 and the lower limit 0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

grr... I wanna say 'yes' but I'm not sure, I'm rusty on this so I'm looking at my notes to make sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the i-part goes away with the dot product

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\int(3\hat i+(3t+5)\hat j)\cdot 3\hat jdt=\int_{0}^{1}9t+15dt\]unless I am misreading something, it's really that simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh ok that is what i assumed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh ok i get it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i seee my mess up

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah, the dot product kills that i-component in this case that was your only mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty thanks turing U R AWESOME as usual

OpenStudy (turingtest):

NO! you are welcome \(and\) awesome!
