Answer

a) $C_1$ be any curve from $(0,0)$ to $(\pi,0)$ b) $C_2$ be any curve from $(0,0)$ to $(\dfrac{\pi}{2},0)$ (Other answers are possible.)

Work Step by Step

a) Suppose $C_1$ be any curve from $(p,q)$ to $(r,s)$. Then, we have $\int_{C_1}F \cdot dr=\int_{C_1} \nabla F \cdot dr=f(r,s)-f(p,q)$ This implies that $\int_{C_1}F \cdot dr=\int_{C_1} \nabla F \cdot dr=f(r,s)-f(p,q)=\sin (r-2s)-\sin (p-2q)=0$ Here, we have $p=0,q=0,r=\pi,s=0$ Thus, $C_1$ be any curve from $(0,0)$ to $(\pi,0)$ b) Suppose $C_2$ be any curve from $(p,q)$ to $(r,s)$. Then, we have $\int_{C_1}F \cdot dr=\int_{C_1} \nabla F \cdot dr=f(r,s)-f(p,q)$ This implies that $\int_{C_1}F \cdot dr=\int_{C_1} \nabla F \cdot dr=f(r,s)-f(p,q)=\sin (r-2s)-\sin (p-2q)=1$ Here, we have $p=0,q=0,r=\pi/2,s=0$ Thus, $C_2$ be any curve from $(0,0)$ to $(\dfrac{\pi}{2},0)$
