If F(x, y) = (3xy, 2x^2), evaluate the line integral over C F.dr, where C is the curve shown...

Question:

If {eq}\vec{F}(x, y) = (3xy, \ 2x^2) {/eq}, evaluate {eq}\oint_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} {/eq}, where C is the curve shown below with positive orientation.

Positive orientation:


The curve which contains a positive orientation obeys a clockwise or counter clockwise path. The beginning and termination point for the positively oriented curve is alike. The line integral of {eq}F {/eq} on {eq}r\left( t \right) {/eq} is gauged by employing the formula, {eq}\oint\limits_C {\vec F \cdot d\vec r = \int\limits_a^b {\vec F\left( {\vec r\left( t \right)} \right) \cdot \vec r'\left( t \right)dt} } {/eq}.
