Answer

$\dfrac{-1}{6}$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\int_C f(x,y,z) ds=\int_{C_1} f(x,y,z) ds+\int_{C_2} f(x,y,z) ds+\int_{C_1} f(x,y,z) ds$ $\int_C f(x,y,z) ds=\int_{0}^{1} -t^2 dt+\int_{0}^{1} -t^{1/2}-1 dt+\int_{0}^{1} (t) dt$ This implies that $[\dfrac{-t^3}{3}]_0^1+[\dfrac{2}{3}t^{3/2}-t]_0^1+[\dfrac{t^2}{2}]_0^1=-\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{6}$
