1. (a) For what value of the constant k is the line integral

Z
2xy 3 dx + (kx2 y 2 + 2y) dy z 2 dz
C

independent of path in xyz-space?

(b) With the value for k from part (a), evaluate the line integral along the curve y = x + 1,
z = y 2 + x from the point (1, 2, 5) to the point (1, 0, 1).

(a) (2xy 3 , kx2 y 2 + 2y, z 2 ) =  /x

/y
/z  = (2kxy 2 6xy 2 )k
 2xy 3 kx2 y 2 + 2y z 2 
Since this is the zero vector when k = 3, the line integral is independent of path in xyz-space when
k = 3.
(b) Since
