題目
10. (10 Points) Evaluate the line integral
∫C(yex+siny)dx+(ex+xcosy)dy along the curve
C:r(t)=(t2+1)i+(t2−1)j, 0≤t≤2. Hint: you may find a potential function
f of the vector field
F(x,y)=(yex+siny)i+(ex+xcosy)j, i.e. find
f so that
F=∇f.
解答
解法一
向量場為保守場;一個勢函數為
f(x,y)=yexp(x)+xsiny.
曲線起點為 (1,−1),終點為 (5,3),故線積分只需取勢函數差:
f(5,3)−f(1,−1)=3e5+e+5sin3+sin1.
