i am sorry sam but i just cant figure it out. sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zarkon can u help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KingGeorge can u help me?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

If I'm remembering my line integrals right, it's path-independent so we only have to calculate the line integral from \((5\pi, 0)\) to \((0, 5\pi)\). Have you learned about path-independence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh ya i am soooo dumb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but lets say i wannna parameterize this equation can i?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont have to use that method but up until this point i have been parameterizing the x and y and then solving

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Let's do this the easy way, and ignore the intermediate paths so we're only worried about the beginning point and the end point. The easiest way to parameterize it would be as a straight line from \[(\pi, \;0) \rightarrow (0, \;5\pi)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh coool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am stupid

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

No you're not. If you were stupid you wouldn't be asking for help when you didn't understand this stuff. This material isn't easy. I had trouble with it too when I took calc 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha Thanks U r a savior

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

What's the parameterization you're getting?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=pi-pi(t) y=5pi(t) the bounds r from 0 to 1

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Looks good to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I can do th erest on my own. I dont know latex so i hate writing out equations

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

It's not too bad once you learn it. I had to learn it for a class last semester.
