David and Sandra plan to evaluate line integral C F · d r along a path in the xy -plane from (0, 0) to (1, 1). The force field is F ( x , y ) = ( x + 2 y ) i + ( x + y 2 ) j . David chooses the path that runs along the x -axis from (0, 0) to (1, 0) and then runs along the vertical line x = 1 from (1, 0) to the final point (1, 1). Sandra chooses the direct path along the diagonal line y = x from (0, 0) to (1, 1). Whose line integral is larger and by how much?
