Final Exam:  Hints for Problems 4, 5, and 6.

Please read the questions carefully and refer to the notes and definitions in the book. Believe it or not every word used has a precise definition that we have discussed, and used, and that is in the text ;-)

Work--The integral near the middle of page 1055, and which is illustrated in Example 7 on page 1055, Example 8 on page 1056, and in the selected homework we did.

Conservative Vector Field & Independence of Path--Theorem 2 on page 1059, the first sentence in the Note immediately following Theorem 2, and the sentence near the bottom of page 1060, beginning "In other words,"--these concepts are illustrated in the examples in this section of the book and in the selected homework we did.

In Problem 4., you have an example of a non conservative vector field that just happens to yield the same answers for the two paths given.  Problem 5. is a continuation of Problem 4., but with two new paths that yield different answers for the work along these new paths. Note that in both of these problems you must find the equation of a line that passes through two given points. In Problem 6., you have an example of a conservative vector field, so this in contrast to the previous two problems.  In all three of these problems you are asked to "Draw an accurate diagram containing both paths"--please do exactly (and only) that, namely sketch a 3D diagram with both paths and both end points drawn and labeled. 

Finally, if you are having trouble getting certain answers to come out the way you know they should, you will get additional partial credit by clearly explaining the mathematical reasons why they should be what you know they should be.

That's about all I can say, except good luck !
