Evaluate the line integrals C x sin t y cos t 0 le t le pi2
Evaluate the line integrals C: x= sin t, y = cos t, 0 le t le pi/2 f(x, y) = 2x - y f(x, y)ds =
Solution
Given
x = Sint ; y=Cost
f(x,y) = 2x - y
= 2sint - Cost
Therefore
Integrate f(x,y)dx = (2sint - Cost)*Costdt
= Integrate(Sint)Costdt - Integrate(Cos2t )
As (d/dt)(sint) = Cost
Therefore
= Sin2t - Integrate(Cos2t )
= Sin2t - Integrate((1/2)(1 + Cos2t))dt
= Sin2t - 0.5(t + SintCost) + Constant
