Step by step solution

01

Problem a: Parametrization of the curve

For \(C\) being the parabola \(y= x^{2}\) from \(z=0\) to \(z=1+i\), one must parametrize the path along the real axis from \(0\) to \(1\) and along the imaginary axis from \(0\) to \(1\). This can be represented as \(z(t)=t\) for \(0 ≤ t ≤ 1\), and \(z(t) = 1+i(t-1)\) for \(1 ≤ t ≤ 2\), where \(t\) is a real parameter.
02

Problem a: Evaluation of the Integral

By substituting the parameterization and evaluating the definite integral, the solution can be found: \(\int_{C} \bar{z} d z\) can be divided into two parts. The first part \(\int_{0}^{1} \bar{t}dt = \frac{1}{2}\) and the second part \(\int_{1}^{2} \bar{1 + i(t-1)}dt = \frac{1}{2} + i\). So the integral is \(\frac{3}{2} + i\).
03

Problem b: Parameterization of the path

For \(C\) being the path from \(z=0\) to \(z=2+i\), one can parametrize the path along the real axis from \(0\) to \(2\) as \(z(t) = 2t\) for \(0 ≤ t ≤ 0.5\) and along the imaginary axis from \(2\) to \(2+i\) as \(z(t) = 2+i(4t-2)\) for \(0.5 ≤ t ≤ 1\)
04

Problem b: Evaluation of the Integral

Substitute the parameterization into the given integral and evaluate it. Firstly, \(\int_{0}^{0.5}2\cdot 2t - 2tdt = 0\). Secondly, \(\int_{0.5}^{1}2\cdot(2 + i(4t-2)) - 2-i(4t-2)dt = i\). So, the integral is \(i\).
05

Problem c: Parameterization of the circle

Here, the curve \(C\) is a positively oriented circle with \(|z| = 2\). Using the hint provided, it can be parameterized as \(z(t) = 2e^{it}\) where \(0 ≤ t ≤ 2π\) .
06

Problem c: Evaluation of the Integral

First multiply numerator and denominator by \(e^{-i t}\). This gives \(\frac{e^{-i t}}{4 + (2e^{-it})^{2}}\). After simplification, integral becomes \(\int_{0}^{2π}\frac{1}{4 + 4cos^{2}(t)}dt = π/2\). So the integral is \(π/2\).
