    r(t)=<t^2, t>

    F(x,y)=<xy, -7yx^2>

    So

    F(r(t))=<t^3,-7t^5>

    r'(t)=<2t,1>

    We find the dot product of F(r(t)) and r't()

    F(r(t)) dot r'(t)=

    2t^4-7t^5

    Now we integrate that from 0 to 1 and get

    (2/5)t^5-(7/6)t^6

    Now we use the fundamental theorem of calculus to solve:

    Answer: 2/5 -7/6=12/30-35/30= -23/30

    Choice F.

    y=t x=t^2

    F(x,y) on C is t^3i-7t^5j

    dr= (2ti+j)dt

    IntF*dr =Int (2t^4-7t^5)dt (0,1) = 2/5-7/6 = -23/30 (f)
