Consider f and c below. f(x, y) = x2 i + y2 j c is the arc of the parabola y = 4x2 from (−1, 4) to (0, 0) (a) find a function f such that f = ∇f. f(x, y) = (b) use part (a) to evaluate c ∇f · dr along the given curve c.

To answer this question, we need to make use of the concept of Potential Function (U)

f = grad U

The solution is:

U = x³/3  +  y³/3 +  K           f = grad×U

b)  - 54.41

f( x,y ) = x²×i + y²× j    is a vectorial field that could be obtained from the gradient of  an scalar, then

f( x, y ) = grad. U if that is true then:

dU/dx = x²       ⇒    dU = x²× dx   ⇒ Uₓ = x³/3 + g(y)          

dU/dy = y²      ⇒     according to that

g´(y) = y²        ⇒   ∫g´(y) = y³/3 + K    plugging that value in Uₓ we get the potential function U, or a family of functions according to  constant (K)

U = x³/3  +  y³/3 +  K

b) To calculate  ∫ grad.F * dr

C is the parabola     y = 4×x²

we parametrize the curve as:

x = t         then    y = 4×t²          r = ( t , 4×t² )        P ( -1 , 4)  to Q ( 0 , 0)                            for        - 1 ≤ t ≤ 0

If  x = t     dx = dt     and   dy = 8×t×dt        so       dr =  ( 1 + 8×t ) dt

We choose K = 0 then U = x³/3 + y³/3

then   U = ( t³/3 + 64×t⁶ )

∫₋₁⁰  ( t³/3 + 64×t⁶) ×  ( 1 + 8×t ) dt  = ∫ [t³/3 + (8/3)×t⁴ +  64×t⁶ + 512×t⁷ ] ×dt

= t⁴/12 + (8/15)× t⁵  + (64/7) ×t⁷ + 512 /8× t⁸

= t⁴/12 + (8/15)× t⁵  + (64/7) ×t⁷ + 64 ×t⁸ | ₋₁⁰

= - [ 1/12 - 8/15 - 64/7 + 64 ]

= - 54.41

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
