Answer

$\pi-2-2\sqrt 2$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $ ds=\sqrt {(\dfrac{dx}{dt})^2+(\dfrac{dy}{dt})^2+(\dfrac{dz}{dt})^2} dt$ and $ds= 2dt$ This implies that $\int_C f(x,y) ds=(4) \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} 2\cos^ t-\sin t dt$ Thus, we have $ 4[\dfrac{1}{2}\sin 2t+\cos t+t]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}=\pi-2-2\sqrt 2$
