in moving a particle along the curve C that consists of the line segments from (1, 2) to (0, 3),
followed by the line segment from (0, 3) to (−1, 2), followed by the line segment from (−1, 2)
to (−1, 0) and followed by the semicircle x2 + y 2 = 1, y ≥ 0 from (−1, 0) to (1, 0).
Solution:
Let C1 be the line segment from (1, 0) to (1, 2). Then, C ∪ C1 is a closed curve with
positive orientation. Let D be the domain enclosed by C ∪ C1 . The sketch of D
and C, C1 is as follows.

For convenience, set

P = y − 3x2 y 2 sin(x3 + 1) and Q = − x + 2y cos(x3 + 1).

Now, compute C1 P dx + Qdy. Note that

C1 : x = 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2.

So dx = 0 on C1 . Since Q = − 23 + 2y cos 2 on C1 , it follows that

Let C be the curve of intersection of the two paraboloids, z = x2 + y 2 and
z = 8 − x2 − y 2 , oriented counter-clockwise when viewed from the positive z-axis.

Next we find and parametrize a surface S. We go with the choice of the surface given by
the disk bounded by C, with upward orientation (other natural options are: the surface S
given by the upward oriented paraboloid z = 8 − x2 − y 2 , or the surface S given by the
upward oriented paraboloid z = x2 + y 2 ). Observe that on S, after equating z = x2 + y 2 and
z = 8 − x2 − y 2 we get z = 4, thus we can use parametrization

x=x
y=y
z = 4,

for (x, y) ∈ D, where D is the projection of S onto the xy-plane. Description of D comes
from the fact that on S we have 4 = z = x2 + y 2 , thus D = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x2 + y 2 ≤ 4}. Since
our surface has to have the upward orientation, we use the formula

⟨−gx , −gy , 1⟩ = ⟨0, 0, 1⟩.
