Y = x + 7
<span>y = -2x - 11

x + 7 = -2x - 11
3x + 7 = -11
3x = -18
x = -6

The x-coordinate of the solution is -6.

I have attached a graph of the two equations since the question really wanted you to graph it and then find the answer.</span>

Consider the line integral Z C (sin x dx + cos y dy), where C consists of the top part of the circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 from (1, 0) t

Direct computation:

Parameterize the top part of the circle $x^2+y^2=1$ by

$\vec r(t)=(x(t),y(t))=(\cos t,\sin t)$

with $0\le t\le\pi$ , and the line segment by

$\vec s(t)=(1-t)(-1,0)+t(2,-\pi)=(3t-1,-\pi t)$

with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_C(\sin x\,\mathrm dx+\cos y\,\mathrm dy)$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^\pi(-\sin t\sin(\cos t)+\cos t\cos(\sin t)\,\mathrm dt+\int_0^1(3\sin(3t-1)-\pi\cos(-\pi t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=0+(\cos1-\cos2)=\boxed{\cos1-\cos2}$

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus:

The integral can be written as

$\displaystyle\int_C(\sin x\,\mathrm dx+\cos y\,\mathrm dy)=\int_C\underbrace{(\sin x,\cos y)}_{\vec F}\cdot\underbrace{(\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy)}_{\vec r}$

If there happens to be a scalar function $f$ such that $\vec F=\nabla f$ , then $\vec F$ is conservative and the integral is path-independent, so we only need to worry about the value of $f$ at the path's endpoints.
