My lines are as follows;
##y=\sqrt x## and ##y=x^2## intersect at ##(0,0## and ##(1,1)##.
Along ##y=\sqrt x##, from ##(0,0)## to ##(1,1)## the line integral equals,
$$\int_0^1 [3x^2-8x] dx + \dfrac{4\sqrt x-6x\sqrt x}{2\sqrt x} dx $$
$$=\int_0^1[3x^2-8x+2-3x]dx=\int_0^1[3x^2-11x+2]dx = [x^3-5.5x^2+2x]_0^1=-2.5$$
Along ##y=x^2##, from ##(1,1)## to ##(0,0)##, the line integral equals,
$$\int_1^0 [3x^2-8x^4]dx + [8x^3-12x^4]dx = \int_1^0 [8x^3-20x^4+3x^2] dx = [x^3-4x^5+2x^4]_1^0 =1$$
The required integral = ##-2.5+1=-1.5##
using, $$\int_c M dx + N dy = \iint_c \left[\dfrac{∂N}{∂x} - \dfrac{∂M}{∂y}\right] dx dy$$
...
we shall have,
$$\int_{\sqrt x}^{x^{2}} (10y)dx = [5y^2]_{\sqrt x}^{x^{2}} = 5x^4-5x $$
then
$$\int_{x=0}^1 [5x^4-5x] dx = [x^5 - 2.5x^2]_0^1 = -1.5$$
so that the theorem is verified.
Maybe my question would be; how to get the second value ##\dfrac{5}{3}##.
