Respuesta :

Assuming the vector field is [tex]\mathbf f=2x^{1/3}\,\mathbf i+e^{y/7}\,\mathbf j[/tex], we want to find a scalar function [tex]f[/tex] such that [tex]\nabla f=\mathbf f[/tex]. We require

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2x^{1/3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=e^{y/7}[/tex]

Integrating both sides of the first PDE with respect to [tex]x[/tex] gives

[tex]f(x,y)=\dfrac32x^{4/3}+g(y)[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to [tex]y[/tex] gives

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=e^{y/7}=\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}[/tex]
[tex]\implies g(y)=7e^{y/7}+C[/tex]

[tex]f(x,y)=\dfrac32x^{4/3}+7e^{y/7}+C[/tex]

Such a scalar function exists, so the fundamental theorem holds and any integral along any path is determined exactly by its endpoints. In this case,

[tex]\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=f(0,1)-f(1,0)=7e^{1/7}-\frac{17}2[/tex]

The value of the provided integral using the fundamental theorem of line integrals is 7e¹/⁷-17/2.

What is the fundamental theorem of line integrals?

The fundamental theorem of line integrals states that the line integral of the gradient of a function (say f) provides the overall change in the numerical quantity of the function over the curve.

The equation whose value has to be calculated is,

[tex]\int\limits_C {\vec F} \, dr[/tex]

Here, C is the quarter of the unit circle in the first quadrant, traced counterclockwise from (1,0) to (0,1).

The vector field given in the problem is,

[tex]\vec F = 2x^{ 1/3}+e^{ y/7} \vec j[/tex]

The partial derivative of the equation,

[tex]\dfrac{\partial \vec F}{\partial x} = 2x^{ 1/3}[/tex]

Integrate this partial derivative with respect to x,

[tex]F(x,y) = \dfrac{3}{2}x^{4/3}+g(y)[/tex]

The another partial derivative of the equation is,

[tex]\dfrac{\partial \vec F}{\partial y} = e^{y/7}[/tex]

Differential it with respect to y,

[tex]\dfrac{d g}{d y} = e^{y/7}\\dg = 7e^{y/7}+C[/tex]

Thus, the function,

[tex]F(x,y)=F(x,y) = \dfrac{3}{2}x^{4/3}+g(y)\\F(x,y)=F(x,y) = \dfrac{3}{2}x^{4/3}+7e^{y/7}+C[/tex]

From the fundamental theorem of line integrals, the value of the provided integral can be calculated with the following expression.

[tex]\int\limits_C {\vec F} \, dr=f(0,1)-f(1,0)\\\int\limits_C {\vec F} \, dr=7e^{1/7}-\dfrac{17}{2}[/tex]

Thus, the value of the provided integral using the fundamental theorem of line integrals is 7e¹/⁷-17/2.
