Find the work done by the force field F = (2x + 4y, 4x + 8y) in moving a particle from (-1,1) to (1,1) along the path r(t) = (t,t2) in two ways:                     (a) by direct evaluation of the line integral;                                                         (b) by finding a scalar potential and using the gradient theorem.
