Answer

$4(e^3-1)$

Work Step by Step

We begin with the line integral: $$\int_{C}ye^x\,dx+2e^x\,dy$$ Green's Theorem states that: $$\oint_CP\,dx+Q\,dy=\iint_{R}\bigg(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\bigg)dA$$ We can work out the integrand of the double integral as follows: $$\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}=2e^x-e^x=e^x$$ Rewriting the double integral as an iterated integral and solving, we get: $$\int_{0}^{4}\bigg(\int_{0}^{3}e^x\,dx\bigg)dy \\=\int_{0}^{4}\bigg[e^x\bigg]_{0}^{3}dy \\=\int_{0}^{4}(e^3-1)\,dy \\=\bigg[(e^3-1)\,y\bigg]_{0}^{4} \\=4(e^3-1)$$
