 Solution

Put $q=2t-t^2$. The second coordinate is exactly $q^2$, so this is the same parabola as in part (i), with a different increasing parametrization. Since $q$ runs from zero to one and $dq=(2-2t)dt$, the line integral isEquivalently, substitute the original parameter to get ${\int }_0^{1}5(2t-t^2{)}^3(2-2t)dt$. This demonstrates that a line integral depends on the oriented path, not on its speed of traversal.
