Not much can be done without knowing what

is, but at the least we can set up the integral.
First parameterize the pieces of the contour:


where

and

. You have


and so the work is given by the integral


Answer:
ummmmm
Step-by-step explanation:
So, given a quadratic function, y = ax2<span> + bx + c, when "a" is positive, the </span>parabola<span> opens upward and the vertex is the </span>minimum<span> value. On the other hand, if "a" is negative, the graph opens </span>downward<span> and the vertex is the </span>maximum<span> value. To put it in complicated terms. Or when A is positive the graph is shaped like a U but if A is negative the graph is an upside down U
