Direct computation:
Parameterize the top part of the circle
by

with
, and the line segment by

with
. Then



Using the fundamental theorem of calculus:
The integral can be written as

If there happens to be a scalar function
such that
, then
is conservative and the integral is path-independent, so we only need to worry about the value of
at the path's endpoints.
This requires


So we have

which means
is indeed conservative. By the fundamental theorem, we have

We are asked to find unknown or the missing number to complete the polynomial given in the problem which is x² + ?x -49. First, let us equate the number to be equal to zero such as it would become x² + ?x - 49 = 0. Next, we need to find the factors such that it would produce a difference of squares and these two factors are a = +7 and b = -7. Hence, the complete solution is shown below:
(x + 7) (x-7) = 0
perform distribution and multiplication of terms such as shown below:
x² + 7x - 7x - 49 = 0
Combine the same term such as we can either add or subtract +7x to -7x and the result will be equal to 0x.
x² + 0x - 49 = 0
Therefore, the missing number is 0. The answer is 0 which will result to x² +0x - 49.
