Math Problem Statement
Evaluate R C 3xy dx − xz dy + 2 dz where C is the curve formed by traveling along the unit circle from (0, 1, 1) to (1, 0, 1) and then traveling along the straight line from (1, 0, 1) to (2, 1, 1).
Solution
To evaluate the line integral of the vector field along the curve formed by traveling along the unit circle from to and then traveling along the straight line from to , we can split the problem into two parts corresponding to the two segments of the curve and then sum the results.
1. Traveling along the unit circle from to
