Step by step solution

01

Define the line integral

The line integral of a vector valong a route dIis defined as∫v.dI. The line integral of the function v which is defined as v=x2i+2yzj+y2 is to be computed from origin to point (1,1,1) . Thus the route of the line integral is defined as .(0,0,0)→(1,0,0)→(1,1,0)→(1,1,1)

02

 Compute the line integral of the vector v from  (0,0,0)→(1.0.0)

The y and z coordinate is 0 in the path (0,0,0)→(1,0,0). Thus y=0 and z=0. The path is changing only in x direction , so dI=dxi

The integral of vector v→, along the path (0,0,0)→(1,0,0)is computed as:

∫(1)vdl=∫(1)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dxi)=∫01x2dx=13

03

 Compute the line integral of the vector v  from  (1,0,0)→(1,1,0)

The x and z coordinate is 0 in the path (1,0,0)→(1,1,0). Thus x=0and z=0. The path is changing only in y direction , sodl=dzk

The integral of vector v→, along the path (1,0,0)→(1,1,0)is computed as:

∫(2)vdl=∫(2)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dyj)=∫01(1)2i+0+0(dyj)=0

04

 Compute the line integral of the vector v from (1,1,0)→(1,1,1)

The x and z coordinate is 1 in the path (1,1,0)→(1,1,1). Thus x=1and z=1. The path is changing only in z direction , sodl=dzk

The integral of vector v→, along the path (1,1,0)→(1,1,1) is computed as:

∫(3)vdl=∫(3)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dzk)=∫010+0+1(dz)=1

Thus the net value of line integral from the origin to point (1,1,1)is the sum of the line integral through path (1), (2), and (3), as follows:

∫(0,0,0)→(1,1,1)vdl=∫(1)vdl+∫(2)vdl+∫(3)vdl=13+0+1=43

Therefore for route (a), the line integral is obtained as 43. Another route (b) is defined as

(0,0,0)→(0,0,1)→(0,1,1)→(1,1,1)

05

 Compute the line integral of the vector v  from  (0,0,0)→(0,0,1)

The y and x coordinate is 0 in the path (0,0,0)→(0,0,1). Thus y=0and x=0. The path is changing only in z direction , so dl=dzk.

The integral of vector v→, along the path (0,0,0)→(0,0,1) is computed as:

∫(1)vdl=∫(1)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dzk)=∫010+0+y2dz=0

06

 Compute the line integral of the vector v  from  (0,0,1)→(0,1,1)

The x and z coordinate are 0 and 1, respectively in the path (0,0,1)→(0,1,1). Thus x=0 and z=1. The path is changing only in y direction , so dl=dyj

The integral of vector v→, along the path (0,0,1)→(0,1,1) is computed as:

localid="1657361157696" ∫(2)vdl=∫(2)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dxj)=∫01(0+2y(1)+0)(dyj)=2y2210=1

07

 Compute the line integral of the vector v  from  (0,1,1)→(1,1,1)

The y and z coordinate is 1 in the path (0,1,1)→(1,1,1). Thus y=1and z=1. The path is changing only in x direction , sodl=dxi

The integral of vector v→, along the path (0,1,1)→(1,1,1) is computed as:

∫(3)vdl=∫(3)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dxi)=∫01x2i+0+0(dx)=x3310=13

Thus the net value of line integral from the origin to point (1,1,1)is the sum of the line integral through path (1), (2), and (3), as follows:

∫(0,0,0)→(1,1,1)vdl=∫(1)vdl+∫(2)vdl+∫(3)vdl=0+1+13=43

Therefore for route (b), the line integral is obtained as43

Another route (c) is defined as

08

 Compute the line integral of the vector v from (0,0,0)→(1,1,1)

Since all the paths are changing from (0,0,0)→(1,1,1), so dl=dxi+dyj+dzk. In this path variations along all direction is same, that is dx=dy=dz. Thus x=y=z.

The integral of vector v→, along the path (0,0,0)→(1,1,1) is computed as:

∫(2)vdl=∫(2)(x2i+2yxj+y2k)(dxi+dyj+dzk)=∫01x2dx+∫012y2dx+∫01z2dx=13+23+13=43

Thus line integral of the vector v which computed from origin to point (1,1,1), is obtained to be same as 43 through all the routes.
