Time limit: 60 minutes
This exam contains 8 pages (including this cover page) and 6 problems. Check to make
sure you have all 8 pages. Enter all requested information at the top of this page, and put
your initials on the top of every page, in case the pages become separated. No graphing
calculators or note-sheets are allowed. Scientic calculators are allowed.
The following rules apply:
Show your work, in a reasonably neat and coherent way, in the space provided. All
answers must be justied by valid mathematical reasoning. To receive full
credit on a problem, you must show enough work so that your solution can be followed
by someone without a calculator.
Mysterious or unsupported answers will not receive full credit. Your work should be
mathematically correct and carefully and legibly written.
A correct answer, unsupported by calculations, explanation, or algebraic work will
receive no credit; an incorrect answer supported by substantially correct calculations
and explanations might still receive partial credit.
In the event that you cannot t your entire answer in the space provided, clearly
indicate where the answer continues.

1. (15 pts) Calculate the work done by the force eld
F(x, y) = (xy)i + (x + y)j
in moving an object along the curve y = x
2
from (1, 1) to (2, 4).
Ans: The work done is exactly
_
C
F dr. We rst check to see if F is a conservative
eld:
P = xy P
y
= x
Q = x + y Q
x
= 1
Since P
y
= Q
x
, F is not conservative, so we must do the line integral directly. We can
parametrize the curve C as
x = t, y = t
2
, 1 t 2
so we compute the line integral as

2. (20 pts) Let C be the path along the line segment from (0, 0) to (

2,

2), followed by
the circle x
2

2

2,

2) to (2, 0), followed by the line

segment from (2, 0) to (0, 0). Evaluate
_
C

Ans: The curve C is a simple, closed, positively oriented curve in the plane, and is the
boundary of the polar region
D =
_
(r, ) : 0 r 2,

so we can use Greens Theorem to evaluate the line integral. Here we have

y

Q = x

y + xy + e

3. (20 pts) Consider the vector eld
F(x, y) = (ye
xy
y cos x)i + (xe
xy
sin x + 2y)j.
(a) Is F conservative? If so, nd a function f(x, y) with f = F. If not, explain why not.
Ans: We have
P = ye
xy
y cos x P
y
= (1)e
xy
+ y(xe
xy
) cos x
Q = xe
xy
sin x + 2y Q
x
= (1)e
xy
+ x(ye
xy
) cos x
so F is conservative because Q
x
= P
y
. To nd a potential function, we note that if
f = F, then we must have
f
x
= ye
xy
y cos x, (1)
f
y
= xe
xy
sin x + 2y. (2)
Integrating (1) with respect to x gives
f(x, y) = e
xy
y sin x + g(y).
Dierentiating with respect to y then gives
f
y
= xe
xy
sin x + g
y
(y).
Then (2) tells us g
y
(y) = 2y, so g(y) = y

+ C, for C an arbitrary constant. Thus one
potential function for F is
f(x, y) = e
xy
y sin x + y
