How to integrate the curve
We have a Curve $C:vec{x}left(tright)=begin{pmatrix}1-2t^2\ tend{pmatrix}$ Now you have to calculate $int _Cvec{F}left(vec{x}right)dvec{x}$ for
$vec{F}left(vec{x}right)=begin{pmatrix}1\ 0end{pmatrix}$
$vec{F}left(vec{x}right)=begin{pmatrix}x_2\ x_1end{pmatrix}$
There are many more practice problems just like this and I'd like to try and solve them but I don't know how to start.
Do I make $1-2t^2 =1$ or $t=0$?
What does $vec{F}left(vec{x}right)=begin{pmatrix}x_2\ x_1end{pmatrix}$ even mean?

there $x:=(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n)$, assuming that $F:Bbb R^ntoBbb R^m$, so $F(x)=F(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n)=(x_2,x_1)$ is a function from $Bbb R^ntoBbb R^2$. By the other hand $F(x)=(1,0)$ also goes from $Bbb R^n$ to $Bbb R^2$ (it is a constant function, it maps every $xinBbb R^n$ to the vector $(1,0)inBbb R^2$)

Note: if you dont know the notation $fcirc g$ just mean the composition of functions $f$ and $g$, that is, $(fcirc g)(s)=f(g(s))$.
There is something that could confuse you: the symbol $x$ is used for two different purposes in the exercise
to denote a vector on the domain of $F$, and
to denote a function from $Bbb RtoBbb R^2$.
Just substituting we have that
$$(Fcirc x)(t)=F(1-2t^2,1)$$
where we assumed here that the domain of $F$ is some subset of $Bbb R^2$ (probably $Bbb R^2$ itself) because the image of the function $x$ is in $Bbb R^2$.
Now, for the first case we have that $(Fcirc x)(t)=(1,0)$, that is, every $tinBbb R$ defines some $x(t)inBbb R^2$, thus $F(x(t))=(1,0)$ because $F$ is already constant.
For the second case we have that $(Fcirc x)(t)=(t,1-2t^2)$, assuming that the notation $x_k$ refer to the coordinates of the vector $x$.
Can you evaluate $int_C F(x)cdot dx$ in each case now?
Ok I will try to do it now. I can evaluate it in the first case. But I am still confused about the second one.

$int _0^1-4tdt=-2$ This is what I understood from your explanation, I multiply F(x) with the derivative of x(t). Is that correct? @Masacroso
– Naochi
Dec 5 '18 at 3:43
Ok nvm I could do it :) Thanks for the explanation. So for the second case it would be $int _0^1begin{pmatrix}t\ 1-2t^2end{pmatrix}cdot begin{pmatrix}-4t\ 1end{pmatrix}$ which would then be $int _0^1-4t^2+1-2t^2dt=-1$ No?

@Naochi we have that $$int_C F(x)cdot dx=int_a^b (Fcirc x)(t)cdot x'(t), dt$$ assuming that $[a,b]$ is the domain of the function $x$ that parametrizes the curve $C$. Yes, what you did is right if $[0,1]$ is the domain of $x$

there $x:=(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n)$, assuming that $F:Bbb R^ntoBbb R^m$, so $F(x)=F(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n)=(x_2,x_1)$ is a function from $Bbb R^ntoBbb R^2$. By the other hand $F(x)=(1,0)$ also goes from $Bbb R^n$ to $Bbb R^2$ (it is a constant function, it maps every $xinBbb R^n$ to the vector $(1,0)inBbb R^2$)
