Let F=(y+3x2,  2y)\mathbf F = \left(y + 3x^2,\; 2y\right). Among all curves CC from (−1,0)(-1, 0) to (1,0)(1, 0) that have length π\pi and lie in the half-plane y≥0y\ge 0, find the largest possible value of the work ∫CF⋅dr\displaystyle\int_C\mathbf F\cdot d\mathbf r. Give your answer in terms of π\pi.
