Evaluate the line integral $int_C xy^4 ds $ of a half circle












0












$begingroup$



Evaluate the line integral where $C$ is the given curve:
$int_C xy^4 ds $, $C$ it the right half of the circle $x^2+y^2=16$




enter image description here



I was following a similar example in my book and parameterized $t$ by making $x = cos t$ and $y = sin t$ and using the line integral equation, but I got a small fraction while the answer is a large number. I looked at the example twice and checked my problem twice, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated..

    the correct parameterization is x=4*cos(t), y=4*sin(t)

    alright I plugged in the right parametric values and my radical came out to be 1/4 and the whole thing came out to be 512/5 which is 102.4.. but the right answer is way bigger...???

You forgot to include the radius. The substitution $x= cos t$, $y= sin t$ parametrizes a circle of radius $1$.

But $C$ is a subset of a circle of radius $4$.
