Final Answer:

(a) 288
e^3 - 224

(b) -288
e^3 + 224

In the given vector field F→ =
8xe^yi + 4x^2e^yj and path C defined by points (0,0) to (7,0) to (7,3) to (0,0), we can evaluate the line integrals using the parameterization of each line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line integral of a vector field along a path is calculated by parameterizing the path and integrating the dot product of the vector field and the tangent vector to the path. In this case, the vector field is
\( \mathbf{F} = 8xe^(y)\mathbf{i} + 4x^2e^(y)\mathbf{j} \) and the path ( C ) consists of three line segments: (1) from (0,0) to (7,0), (2) from (7,0) to (7,3), and (3) from (7,3) to (0,0).

(a) For the first line segment from (0,0) to (7,0), parameterize it as
\( \mathbf{r}(t) = \langle t, 0 \rangle \)where
\( 0 \leq t \leq 7 \). The line integral becomes


\[ \int_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \int_0^7 (8te^0 + 4t^2e^0)dt = \int_0^7 (8t + 4t^2)dt = 288e^3 - 224 \]

(b) For the second line segment from (7,0) to (7,3), parameterize it as
\( \mathbf{r}(t) = \langle 7, t \rangle \) where
\( 0 \leq t \leq 3 \). The line integral becomes


\[ \int_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \int_0^3 (8 \cdot 7e^t + 4 \cdot 7^2e^t)dt = -288e^3 + 224 \]

The overall line integral is the sum of these contributions along each segment.

Final answer:

To find the integrals, we need to evaluate integral_C F dr and integral_C G dr. We can split the path into three segments and parametrize each segment to calculate the integrals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the integrals, we need to evaluate integral_C F dr and integral_C G dr. Since C consists of different lines, we can split the path into three segments: from (0,0) to (7,0), from (7,0) to (7,3), and from (7,3) to (0,0).

For the first segment, from (0,0) to (7,0), we can parametrize the path as r(t) = (t, 0) where t goes from 0 to 7.

For the second segment, from (7,0) to (7,3), we can parametrize the path as r(t) = (7, t) where t goes from 0 to 3.

For the third segment, from (7,3) to (0,0), we can parametrize the path as r(t) = (7 - t, 3 - t) where t goes from 0 to 7.
