Let F=(y−yx2+y2,  x+xx2+y2)\mathbf F = \left(y - \dfrac{y}{x^2 + y^2},\; x + \dfrac{x}{x^2 + y^2}\right) and let CC be the spiral r(t)=(tcos⁡t,  tsin⁡t)\mathbf r(t) = (t\cos t,\; t\sin t) for π2≤t≤4π\dfrac{\pi}{2}\le t\le 4\pi. Evaluate ∫CF⋅dr\displaystyle\int_C\mathbf F\cdot d\mathbf r. Give your answer in terms of π\pi.
