helps to parameterize curve
\[F(x,y)= (x²+y²)i + 3x²j \] \[Y=x²\] points (1,1) (2,4)
I am here Big BOY
dude! lets x=t R(t)=<t,t^2> what t value you need to cover from (1,1) to (2,4) why t from 1 to 2 ofcourse
is the parametric curve x = t and y = t ² in this template, but I have no idea how you came to these values
How I guess you want to do F.Dr around this curve
Because think of it like this
R(t)=<x(t),y(t)>, at every given "time" lets say, there is a certain x and y value on the parabola, if this parabola is the path, with respect to time you are traversing it at different times you are on different point on the parabola...
Now continue, I think the next question is find F.Dr
R(t)=<t,t^2> dr/dt=<t,2t> dr=<t,2t>dt F.dr= F.<t,2t>dt \[\int {F dot <t,2t> dt}\]
Okay, good luck buddy.
Tell me if you need any more clarification with paremetrization. How I think of it is to just write all the points in this vector form.
