We want to find
such that
. This means



Integrating both sides of the latter equation with respect to
tells us

and differentiating with respect to
gives

Integrating both sides with respect to
gives

Then

and differentiating both sides with respect to
gives

So the scalar potential function is

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, the work done by
along any path depends only on the endpoints of that path. In particular, the work done over the line segment (call it
) in part (a) is

and
does the same amount of work over both of the other paths.
In part (b), I don't know what is meant by "df/dt for F"...
In part (c), you're asked to find the work over the 2 parts (call them
and
) of the given path. Using the fundamental theorem makes this trivial:


Answer: $4.50 per candle
Step-by-step explanation:
$32.55 - $17.50 - $1.55 = $13.50 for all the candles
To find the price of a single candle we divide our answer by 3
13.50/3 = $4.50

Answer: </h3><h3>
Yes, the triangles are similar</h3><h3>
AC = 6</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangle ABC. Let's find the missing angle
A+B+C = 180
113+B+22 = 180
B+135 = 180
B = 180-135
B = 45
Between the triangles, have two pairs of angles that are congruent
A = D = 113
B = E = 45
Which is enough to prove the triangles are similar through the angle angle (AA) similarity theorem. This must mean that C = F = 22
Since we have A pair with D, and B pair with E, this means that 
The order of the letters is important so we know how the angles pair up. The first letters pair up together, the second letters pair up, and so on.
Consequently, this means sides BC and EF pair up and AC and DF pair up
We can then say...
BC/EF = AC/DF
18/12 = x/4
18*4 = 12*x
72 = 12x
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6
AC = 6
