For the following exercises, let F ( x , y ) = 2 x y 2 i + ( 2 y x 2 + 2 y ) j and G ( x , y ) = ( y + x ) i + ( y x ) j , and let C 1 be the curve consisting of the circle of radius 2, centered at the origin and oriented counterclockwise, and C 2 be the curve consisting of a line segment from (0, 0) to (1, 1) followed by a line segment from (1, 1) to (3, 1).

A vector fields in two dimensions is shown. It has short arrows close to the origin. Longer arrows are in the upper right corner of quadrant 1 and somewhat in the bottom right of quadrant 4, upper left of quadrant 2, and lower left of quadrant 3. The arrows all point away from the origin at about 90-degrees in their respective quadrants. A unit circle with center at the origin is drawn as C_1. Curve C_2 connects the origin, (1,1), and (3,1) with arrowheads pointing in that order. A vector field has the same curves C_1 and C_2. However, the arrows are different. Here, the arrows spiral out from the origin in a clockwise manner. The further away they are from the origin, the longer they become. They are largely horizontal in quadrants 1 and 3 and largely vertical in quadrants 2 and 4.
