- Wait patiently for a helper to come along.

Number 24 btw
itll be the line integral over $C_2$ - the line integral over $C_1$ = $A = \int_{C_2}{ds} - \int_{C_1}{ds}$ so just parameterise both the curves and compute the line integral

yeah I am unsure of parameterizing it correctly
how exactly do I get the parameterization of the second curve?
I know how to do it for the first curve
yes
bruh lol
also
when I am using the area of a plane region by line integrals, there were some questions needing me to use green's theorem for flux and circulation, I was wondering what is the difference between those two and when do I know when to use em?
circulation is vectors inline with the path, flux is vectors perpendicular to the path
Green's for flux converts from flux integrals which are a pain to a comparatively simpler double integral, telling the difference in usage is something you'll pick up over time and doing practice questions
odidk let me show you an example problem I
^ I tried using the circulation greene theorem and it straight up gave me zeroes for the partials
However when I used flux I got an actual answer, so is that what you mean by ill pick it up overtime from practice)
yes
it's nuance in telling the difference between flux and circulation integrals, unless you want to memorise all the telltales on their own
So try either one and hope itll work in monkey bananna term?
not really, circulation integral is a path integral, flux integral is a surface integral
so if I looked based off this question
would I know whether to use cirulation or flux green theorem
my understanding/knowledge may be a bit off, but based off what i knew I thought it was cirulation
you used the divergence form of greens theorem here
divergence=flux/volume
