Find the integral of the vector field












2












$begingroup$



Let the vector field
$$vec{F}left(vec{x}right)=begin{pmatrix}{x_1^2+2x_3}\ x_1x_2\
x_3^2-2x_1end{pmatrix}$$
Compute the integral $int _Cvec{F}left(vec{x}right)dvec{x}$ from the origin to the point
$P(1/2/3)$ if $C$ is a straight line from the origin to $P$.




So in the book they only give us answers, but not how to get the answers. I calculated the integral and got



$$int _0^112t^2-8t$$ which equals to zero, however in the book the answers is $9frac{2}{3}$. I think the book is wrong because I just don't see how we can get that answer. Or am I wrong?

You have that $F(x,y,z)=(x^2+2z,xy,z^2-2x)$, and you want to evaluate



$$int_C F(x,y,z)cdot (dx,dy,dz)$$



where $C$ is the straight line parametrized by $gamma:[0,1]toBbb R^3,,tmapsto t P$ for $P:=(1,2,3)$. Hence



$$int_C F(x,y,z)cdot (dx,dy,dz)=int_0^1 (Fcirc gamma)(t)cdot gamma'(t), dt\
=int_0^1 (t^2+6t), dt+2int_0^12t^2, dt+3int_0^1 (9t^2-2t), dt\
=frac13+3+2frac23+3left(3-1right)=frac53+9$$
