The document discusses evaluating line integrals along different paths. It provides the solutions to 4 problems: 1) Evaluating a line integral along 3 paths between points (0,3) and (2,4). The integral equals 33/2, 12, and 97/6. 2) Evaluating a line integral of z along a curve between points (0,0) and (4,2i). The integral equals 10-8i. 3) Stating the problem of evaluating a line integral along 2 paths between points (1,1) and (2,4). 4) Evaluating an integral between 0 and 1+i along 2 paths, showing the results are the same

The line from z=0 to z=2i is the same as the line from(0,0) to(0,2) for
which x=0,dx=0 and the line integral equals

Again the line from z=2i to z=4+2i is the same as the line from(0,2)
to(4,2) for which y=2,dy=0 and the line integral equals
