∫C(yx3dx + y2dy) = ∫01(x5 + 2x5)dx = x6/201 = 1/2
Ajit S.
asked 12/19/22I am asked the following question:
For F=yx^3i+y^2j, find the line integral F*dr on the portion of the curve y=x^2 from (0,0) to (1,1).
The answer is 1/2. I am attempting to use Green's Theorem. My bounds are: 0<x<1 and x^2<y<1. I am getting -1/12 repeatedly. How do I solve this problem using Green's Theorem?

You can not use Green's Theorem for this problem. The reason is, one of the prerequisites
of the theorem is that the curve must be a simply closed one.
