Question: Use Green's Theorem to evaluate Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] where C is parameterized by x = cos(theta), y = sin(theta) and 0 <= theta <= 2pi. Check your answer by computing the line integral without Green's Theorem.YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Green’s Theorem states

Int[ y^3 dx + x^3 dy, C] = Int(Int((dN/dx - dM/dy) dA), where N = -x^3 and M = y^3

dN/dx = -3x^2, dM/dy = 3y^2, plugging into our equation

Int(Int((3y^2- (-3x^2)) dA) = Int(Int(3(y^2 + x^2) dA), using polar coord.

Int(Int(3(y^2 + x^2) dA) = Int(Int(3(r^2)*r) dr,0,1)d`theta,0,2`pi)

Int(3r^3 dr) = (3/4)r^4, evaluated

(3/4)- 0 = (3/4)

Int((3/4) d`theta) = (3/4)`theta, evaluated

((3/4)*2`pi) - ((3/4)*0) = (3/2)`pi

Calculating Line integral,

Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] = Int(y^3 dx,C) - Int(x^3 dy,C)

= Int(sin(`theta)^3*(-sin(`theta))d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int( -(((1 - cos(2`theta))/2)^2) dt) = Int( -(1/4)(1 - cos(2`theta))^2 dt)

= Int( -(1/4)(1 - 2cos(2`theta) + cos(2`theta)^2 dt)

= Int( -(1/4)(1 - 2cos(2`theta) + (1+cos(4`theta))/2) dt)

=Int((-3/8) + (1/4)*2cos(2`theta) - (1/8)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int((-3/8) d`theta) + Int((1/4)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta) - Int((1/8)2cos(4`theta) d`theta)

Using u sub for inner fn of cos we have simple cos integrals

= (-3/8)*(`theta) + [(1/4)*sin(2`theta)] - [(1/16)sin(4`theta)], evaluated

=(-3`pi/4)

Now calculating 2nd integral ,Int(x^3 dy,C)

Int(x^3 dy,C)

= Int(cos(`theta))^3*(cos(`theta))d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int( (((1 + cos(2`theta))/2)^2) dt) = Int( (1/4)(1 + cos(2`theta))^2 dt)

= Int( (1/4)(1+ 2cos(2`theta) + cos(2`theta)^2 dt)

= Int( (1/4)(1 + 2cos(2`theta) + (1+cos(4`theta))/2) dt)

=Int((3/8) + (1/4)*2cos(2`theta) + (1/8)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int((3/8) d`theta) + Int((1/4)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta) + Int((1/8)2cos(4`theta) d`theta)

Using u sub for inner fn of cos we have simple cos integrals

= (3/8)*(`theta) + [(1/4)*sin(2`theta)] + [(1/16)sin(4`theta)], evaluated

=((3/8)*2`pi)

So we have

Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] = (-3`pi/4) - (3`pi/4) = -3`pi/2,

Which is negative value for curve which we calculated.

Given Solution:

This function is of the form M dx + N dy, with M = y^3 and N = x^3.

This function is integrated over a positively oriented closed curve, so by Green's Theorem the given line integral is equal to the integral of N_x - M_y over the region enclosed by the curve.

The curve is the unit circle, traversed counterclockwise. The region can be described by -1 <= x <= 1, -sqrt(1 - x^2) <= y <= sqrt(1 - x^2), so our integral is

integral ( integral( N_x - M_y) dy, -sqrt(1 - x^2), sqrt(1 - x^2)), dx, -1, 1)

= integral ( integral( -3 x^2 - 3 y^2 ) dy, -sqrt(1 - x^2), sqrt(1 - x^2)), dx, -1, 1)

An antiderivative of -3 x^2 - 3 y^2 with respect to y is -3 x^2 y - y^3, which between the given limits changes from 3 x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) + (1 - x^2)^(3/2) to -3 x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) - (1 - x^2)^(3/2) , a change of -6 x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) - 2 (1 - x^2)^(3/2).

We are thus left with

integral ( -6 x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) - 2 (1 - x^2)^(3/2), x, -1, 1).

Evaluating this integral we get -3 pi / 2.

The line integral around the curve is easily written down. We have x = cos(t), y = sin(t), dx = - sin(t) dt, dy = cos(t) dt so that

Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] = int( sin^3(t) * (-sin(t) dt) - cos^3(t) * cos(t) dt , t from 0 to 2 pi)

= int(-sin^4(t) - cos^4(t) dt, 0, 2 pi).

This integral comes out to -3 pi / 2, in agreement with the area integral.

Notes on details of integrations:

x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) contains the expression x sqrt( 1 - x^2), which can be evaluated with substitution

x^2 sqrt(1 - x^2) can then be written as x ( x sqrt(1 - x^2)), and integrated by parts

sin^4(t) can be written sin^2(t) ( 1 - cos^2(t)) = sin^2(t) - sin^2(t) cos^2(t).

sin^2(t) can be integrated by parts, letting u = sin(t) and dv = sin(t) dt.

Question: Use Green's Theorem to evaluate the integral Int[2x arctan(y) dx - x^2*y^2 (1 + y^2) dy, C] where C is the square with vertices (0,0), (3,0), (3,3), (0,3) traversed clockwise.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Green’s Theorem states

Int[2x arctan(y) dx - x^2*y^2 (1 + y^2) dy, C] = Int(Int((dN/dx - dM/dy) dA),

where N = x^2*y^2 (1 + y^2) and M =2x arctan(y)

dN/dx = (-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2), dM/dy = (2x)(1/(y^2 + 1)), plugging into our equation

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dA)

We paratermize with 0<=x<=3 and 0<=y<=(3-x)

So we have

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

= Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3) - Int(Int([(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy) =-2x(Int(y^2 dy) + Int(y^4 dy)

=-2x(y^3/3 + y^5/5), evaluated

-2x((3-x)^3/3 + (3-x)^5/5)

Int(-2x((3-x)^3/3 + (3-x)^5/5) dx)

= Int(-2x((3-x)^3/3) dx) + Int(-2x((3-x)^5/5) dx)

Int(-2x((3-x)^3/3) dx) = to save time and space will just provide solution, evaluated

-81/10 - 0 = -8.1

Int(-2x((3-x)^5/5) dx) = to save time and space will just provide solution, evaluated

-729/35 - 0 = -approx -20.8

So that

Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)= approx. -29

Now for second part of integral

Int(Int([(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int((2x)(1/(y^2 + 1)) dy) = 2x*Int(1/(y^2 + 1) dy) = 2x*tan^-1(y), evaluated

2x*tan^-1(3-x) - 0

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) using integration by parts u= tan^-1(3-x), u’ = 1/(x^2 - 6x +10),v’ = 2x, v = x^2

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) = tan^-1(3-x)*x^2 - Int( x^2/(x^2-6x +10) dx), using partial fractions we get

Int( x^2/(x^2-6x +10) dx) = 3*ln|x^2 - 6x +10|+ 8*tan^-1(3-x) + x, so that

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) = tan^-1(3-x)*x^2 - [3*ln|x^2 - 6x +10|+ 8*tan^-1(3-x) + x], evaluated we get

3 - approx. 16.9 = -13.9

So finally we have

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3) = approx. -29 - (-13.9) = -15.1 or

= approx. -15

Given Solution:

This function is of the form M dx + N dy, with M = 2x arcTan(y) and N = -x^2 y^2 ( 1 + y^2).

This function is integrated over a positively oriented closed curve, so by Green's Theorem the given line integral is equal to the integral of N_x - M_y over the region enclosed by the curve.

N_x = 2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) and M_y = 2 x / (1 + y^2), so N_x - M_y = -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2).

The region is easily described, so the integrand of our area integral will be -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2). We can choose to integrate first with respect to x or y. Integrating first with respect to x we get

int(int( -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2) dx, 0, 3) dy, 0, 3)

= - 2 int (int x dx,0,3) (y^2 ( 1 + y^2) + 1 / (1 + y^2)) dy, 0, 3)

= -2 int ( 9/2 ( y^2 + y^4 + 1 / (1 + y^2) ) ) dy, 0, 3)

= - 9 int ( (y^2 + y^4 + 1 / ( 1 + y^2) dy, 0, 3)

An antiderivative is y^3 / 3 + y^5 / 5 + arcTan(y). This antiderivative changes from 0 at y = 0 to 288 / 5 + arcTan(3) at y = 3, a change of 288 / 5 + arcTan(3).

Our integral is therefore -9 ( 288/5 + arcTan(3) ) = -9 arcTan(3) - 2592 / 5.

The line integral around the square can be broken into four integrals. The four paths can be parameterized as

x = t, y = 0

x = 3, y = t

x = (3 - t), y = 0

x = 0, y = 3 - t

all for 0 <= t <= 4.

On the first and third paths y is constant so the dy term will be zero.

On the second and fourth paths x is constant so the dx term will be zero.

On the fourth path both terms have x as a factor. Since x = 0 on this path, the integrand is therefore zero.

On the third path x = 3 - t so dx = - dt; on the fourth y = 3 - t so dy = - dt.

Our integral around the boundary of the region is therefore

int( 2 t arcTan(0) dt, 0, 3)

+ int ( -(3^2 t^2 ( 1 + t^2) dt, 0, 3)

+ int( 2 ( 3 - t) arcTan(3) * (-dt), 0, 3)

+ int ( 0 (- dt), 0, 3).

arcTan(0) = 0 so the first integral is just zero. This leaves us with

- int( 9 t^2 ( 1 + t^2 ) dt, 0, 3) - 2 arcTan(3) int( (3 - t) dt, 0, 3).

Both integrands are polynomials. You should easily be able to confirm that the result is

-2592 / 5 - 9 arcTan(3).,

in agreement with the previous area integral.

Question: Find the work done when an object moves in the force field F(x,y) = 2y^2i + 3x^2j counterclockwise around the circular path x^2 + y^2 = 4.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Force = where P = 2y^2 and Q = 3x^2, we first check to see if force is conservative

(dQ/dx) = 6x, (dP/dy) = 4y, F is not conservative.

Next we can look to see if C is simply connected (which it is) and when C is simple , then C bounds a simply connected region S inside R.

At this point we expect that the integral will be zero so let’s solve to see.

Int( F dot dr, C) = Int((P dx + Q dy)) = Int(Int(((dQ/dx) - (dP/dy)) dA)

= Int(Int((6x - 4y) dy,0, `sqrt(4-x^2)) dx,0,2)

Int((6x - 4y) dy)

Int((6x - 4y) dy) = 6xy - 2y^2, evaluated

= 6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx) = Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) dx) - Int(8 dx) + Int(2x^2 dx)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) dx), u = x^2, u’ = 2x xd Int((1/3)*`sqrt(4-u) du)

= (1/3)((2/3)(4-u)^(3/2) = (2/9)(4-x^2)^(3/2)

Int(8 dx) = 8x

Int(2x^2 dx) = (2/3)*x^3

So

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx) = [(2/9)(4-x^2)^(3/2)] - [8x] + [(2/3)*x^3], evaluated

=[-16 + (15/3)] - [(16/9)] = -115/9 = approx. -12.7778

The work would be the line integral int ( F dot ds ) around the curve. If ds = dx i + dy j the integral would be

int(2 y^2 dx + 3 x^2 dy, over C),

which is of the form int(M dx + N dy, over C), with M = 2 y^2 and N = 3 x^2.

By Green's Theorem this is the integral of N_x - M_y = 6 x - 4 y the enclosed region.

In terms of x and y the region is -2 <= x <= 2, -sqrt(4 - x^2) <= y <= sqrt(4 - x^2).

The integral would therefore be

int(int ( (6 x - 4 y) dy), -sqrt(4 - x^2), sqrt(4 - x^2))dx, -2, 2)

The antiderivative for the inner integral is 6 x y - 2 y^2. The antiderivative changes by 12 x sqrt( 4 - x^2).

The outer integral is therefore

int( 12 x sqrt(4 - x^2) dx, -2, 2).

An antiderivative is 4 * 2/3 (4 - x^2)^(3/2). The antiderivative has the same value at x = -2 and at x = 2, so the integral is zero.

The path could be parameterized by x = 4 cos(t), y = 4 sin(t). The integral would be

int( 3 * 16 cos^2(t) * (-sin t) dt + 2 * 16 sin^2(t) * cos(t) dt, 0, 2 pi).

The antiderivative is a multiple of cos^3(t) added to a multiple of sin^3(t), and hence will not change between t = 0 and t = 2 pi. The resulting integral is therefore zero.

Your solution:

Green’s Theorem states

Int[ y^3 dx + x^3 dy, C] = Int(Int((dN/dx - dM/dy) dA), where N = -x^3 and M = y^3

dN/dx = -3x^2, dM/dy = 3y^2, plugging into our equation

Int(Int((3y^2- (-3x^2)) dA) = Int(Int(3(y^2 + x^2) dA), using polar coord.

Int(Int(3(y^2 + x^2) dA) = Int(Int(3(r^2)*r) dr,0,1)d`theta,0,2`pi)

Int(3r^3 dr) = (3/4)r^4, evaluated

(3/4)- 0 = (3/4)

Int((3/4) d`theta) = (3/4)`theta, evaluated

((3/4)*2`pi) - ((3/4)*0) = (3/2)`pi

Calculating Line integral,

Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] = Int(y^3 dx,C) - Int(x^3 dy,C)

= Int(sin(`theta)^3*(-sin(`theta))d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int((-3/8) d`theta) + Int((1/4)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta) - Int((1/8)2cos(4`theta) d`theta)

Using u sub for inner fn of cos we have simple cos integrals

=(-3`pi/4)

Now calculating 2nd integral ,Int(x^3 dy,C)

Int(x^3 dy,C)

= Int(cos(`theta))^3*(cos(`theta))d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int( (((1 + cos(2`theta))/2)^2) dt) = Int( (1/4)(1 + cos(2`theta))^2 dt)

= Int( (1/4)(1+ 2cos(2`theta) + cos(2`theta)^2 dt)

= Int( (1/4)(1 + 2cos(2`theta) + (1+cos(4`theta))/2) dt)

=Int((3/8) + (1/4)*2cos(2`theta) + (1/8)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta,0,2`pi)

=Int((3/8) d`theta) + Int((1/4)*2cos(2`theta) d`theta) + Int((1/8)2cos(4`theta) d`theta)

Using u sub for inner fn of cos we have simple cos integrals

= (3/8)*(`theta) + [(1/4)*sin(2`theta)] + [(1/16)sin(4`theta)], evaluated

=((3/8)*2`pi)

Int[ y^3 dx - x^3 dy, C] = (-3`pi/4) - (3`pi/4) = -3`pi/2,

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Green’s Theorem states

Int[2x arctan(y) dx - x^2*y^2 (1 + y^2) dy, C] = Int(Int((dN/dx - dM/dy) dA),

where N = x^2*y^2 (1 + y^2) and M =2x arctan(y)

dN/dx = (-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2), dM/dy = (2x)(1/(y^2 + 1)), plugging into our equation

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dA)

We paratermize with 0<=x<=3 and 0<=y<=(3-x)

@& This is a square. 0 <= x <=3 and 0 <=y <= 3. So your integral would only apply to a triangle.*@

So we have

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

= Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3) - Int(Int([(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy) =-2x(Int(y^2 dy) + Int(y^4 dy)

=-2x(y^3/3 + y^5/5), evaluated

-2x((3-x)^3/3 + (3-x)^5/5)

Int(-2x((3-x)^3/3 + (3-x)^5/5) dx)

Int(-2x((3-x)^5/5) dx) = to save time and space will just provide solution, evaluated

-729/35 - 0 = -approx -20.8

So that

Int(Int([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)= approx. -29

Now for second part of integral

Int(Int([(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3)

Int((2x)(1/(y^2 + 1)) dy) = 2x*Int(1/(y^2 + 1) dy) = 2x*tan^-1(y), evaluated

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) using integration by parts u= tan^-1(3-x), u’ = 1/(x^2 - 6x +10),v’ = 2x, v = x^2

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) = tan^-1(3-x)*x^2 - Int( x^2/(x^2-6x +10) dx), using partial fractions we get

Int( x^2/(x^2-6x +10) dx) = 3*ln|x^2 - 6x +10|+ 8*tan^-1(3-x) + x, so that

Int(2x*tan^-1(3-x) dx) = tan^-1(3-x)*x^2 - [3*ln|x^2 - 6x +10|+ 8*tan^-1(3-x) + x], evaluated we get

3 - approx. 16.9 = -13.9

So finally we have

Int(Int(([(-2x)(y^2)(1+y^2)] - [(2x)(1/(y^2 + 1))] dy,0,(3-x)) dx,0,3) = approx. -29 - (-13.9) = -15.1 or

= approx. -15

Given Solution:

This function is of the form M dx + N dy, with M = 2x arcTan(y) and N = -x^2 y^2 ( 1 + y^2).

This function is integrated over a positively oriented closed curve, so by Green's Theorem the given line integral is equal to the integral of N_x - M_y over the region enclosed by the curve.

N_x = 2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) and M_y = 2 x / (1 + y^2), so N_x - M_y = -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2).

The region is easily described, so the integrand of our area integral will be -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2). We can choose to integrate first with respect to x or y. Integrating first with respect to x we get

int(int( -2 x y^2 ( 1 + y^2) - 2 x / (1 + y^2) dx, 0, 3) dy, 0, 3)

= - 2 int (int x dx,0,3) (y^2 ( 1 + y^2) + 1 / (1 + y^2)) dy, 0, 3)

= -2 int ( 9/2 ( y^2 + y^4 + 1 / (1 + y^2) ) ) dy, 0, 3)

= - 9 int ( (y^2 + y^4 + 1 / ( 1 + y^2) dy, 0, 3)

An antiderivative is y^3 / 3 + y^5 / 5 + arcTan(y). This antiderivative changes from 0 at y = 0 to 288 / 5 + arcTan(3) at y = 3, a change of 288 / 5 + arcTan(3).

Our integral is therefore -9 ( 288/5 + arcTan(3) ) = -9 arcTan(3) - 2592 / 5.

The line integral around the square can be broken into four integrals. The four paths can be parameterized as

x = t, y = 0

x = 3, y = t

x = (3 - t), y = 0

x = 0, y = 3 - t

all for 0 <= t <= 4.

On the first and third paths y is constant so the dy term will be zero.

On the second and fourth paths x is constant so the dx term will be zero.

On the fourth path both terms have x as a factor. Since x = 0 on this path, the integrand is therefore zero.

On the third path x = 3 - t so dx = - dt; on the fourth y = 3 - t so dy = - dt.

Our integral around the boundary of the region is therefore

int( 2 t arcTan(0) dt, 0, 3)

+ int ( -(3^2 t^2 ( 1 + t^2) dt, 0, 3)

+ int( 2 ( 3 - t) arcTan(3) * (-dt), 0, 3)

+ int ( 0 (- dt), 0, 3).

arcTan(0) = 0 so the first integral is just zero. This leaves us with

- int( 9 t^2 ( 1 + t^2 ) dt, 0, 3) - 2 arcTan(3) int( (3 - t) dt, 0, 3).

Both integrands are polynomials. You should easily be able to confirm that the result is

-2592 / 5 - 9 arcTan(3).,

in agreement with the previous area integral.

@& As explained above I can't scan all the details right now, but the limits on your integral could explain the difference in the solutions.

However -2592 / 5 in my solution seems way too big.

Your approach is correct (except for the detail of the limits on the region) and you're doing fine*@

Self-critique (if necessary):

I’m not sure where I went wrong, there is so much work that goes into calculating these integrals its hard for me to see where my error was but clearly there was an error my solution was (1/35) the solution of yours.

*********************************************

Question: Find the work done when an object moves in the force field F(x,y) = 2y^2i + 3x^2j counterclockwise around the circular path x^2 + y^2 = 4.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Force = where P = 2y^2 and Q = 3x^2, we first check to see if force is conservative

(dQ/dx) = 6x, (dP/dy) = 4y, F is not conservative.

Next we can look to see if C is simply connected (which it is) and when C is simple , then C bounds a simply connected region S inside R.

At this point we expect that the integral will be zero so let’s solve to see.

Int( F dot dr, C) = Int((P dx + Q dy)) = Int(Int(((dQ/dx) - (dP/dy)) dA)

= Int(Int((6x - 4y) dy,0, `sqrt(4-x^2)) dx,0,2)

Int((6x - 4y) dy)

Int((6x - 4y) dy) = 6xy - 2y^2, evaluated

= 6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx) = Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) dx) - Int(8 dx) + Int(2x^2 dx)

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) dx), u = x^2, u’ = 2x xd Int((1/3)*`sqrt(4-u) du)

= (1/3)((2/3)(4-u)^(3/2) = (2/9)(4-x^2)^(3/2)

Int(8 dx) = 8x

Int(2x^2 dx) = (2/3)*x^3

So

Int(6x*`sqrt(4-x^2) - 2(4-x^2)dx) = [(2/9)(4-x^2)^(3/2)] - [8x] + [(2/3)*x^3], evaluated

=[-16 + (15/3)] - [(16/9)] = -115/9 = approx. -12.7778

The work would be the line integral int ( F dot ds ) around the curve. If ds = dx i + dy j the integral would be

int(2 y^2 dx + 3 x^2 dy, over C),

which is of the form int(M dx + N dy, over C), with M = 2 y^2 and N = 3 x^2.

By Green's Theorem this is the integral of N_x - M_y = 6 x - 4 y the enclosed region.

In terms of x and y the region is -2 <= x <= 2, -sqrt(4 - x^2) <= y <= sqrt(4 - x^2).

The integral would therefore be

int(int ( (6 x - 4 y) dy), -sqrt(4 - x^2), sqrt(4 - x^2))dx, -2, 2)

The antiderivative for the inner integral is 6 x y - 2 y^2. The antiderivative changes by 12 x sqrt( 4 - x^2).

The outer integral is therefore

int( 12 x sqrt(4 - x^2) dx, -2, 2).

An antiderivative is 4 * 2/3 (4 - x^2)^(3/2). The antiderivative has the same value at x = -2 and at x = 2, so the integral is zero.

The path could be parameterized by x = 4 cos(t), y = 4 sin(t). The integral would be

int( 3 * 16 cos^2(t) * (-sin t) dt + 2 * 16 sin^2(t) * cos(t) dt, 0, 2 pi).

The antiderivative is a multiple of cos^3(t) added to a multiple of sin^3(t), and hence will not change between t = 0 and t = 2 pi. The resulting integral is therefore zero.

Rushed through and only accounted for right side of circle but apart from that I believe solution should have been close wrt logic.

@& You're doing fine overall. The details are escaping my chlorine-blurred vision tonight, and you need to be careful about the details, but the procedure is fine.*@
