Final answer:
The line integral along the curve C is evaluated using Green's Theorem by converting it to a double integral over the region D bounded by C. The integral evaluates to the double integral of ∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y over D, and after calculating, we obtain the result for the line integral.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Green's Theorem to Evaluate a Line Integral
To solve the line integral question using Green's Theorem, we have the integral of a vector field over the curve C, which is the triangle with vertices (0, 0), (1, 0), and (1, 4). Green's Theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C.
Firstly, we express the given line integral in the form ∫ C P dx + Q dy, where P = x2y2 and Q = y tan∑(8y). Applying Green's Theorem, we convert this line integral into a double integral over the domain D bounded by C as follows:
∫ C P dx + Q dy = ∬ D (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y) dA.
We find the partial derivatives ∂Q/∂x and ∂P/∂y, evaluate the double integral over D, and hence, get the value of the line integral using the theorem. Since the region D is a triangle, we set up the limits of integration for x from 0 to 1 and for y as a function of x, ranging from 0 to 4x.
In this specific case, we need to calculate the following double integral:
∬ D (0 - 2x2y) dA,
which simplifies the integral to:
∬01 ∬04x (-2x2y) dy dx.
After integrating with respect to y and then x, we obtain the result for the original line integral.
