Answer

$\int_Cf(x) dx+g(y) dy=0$

Work Step by Step

Apply Green's Theorem as: $\int_C adx+b dy=\iint_D (\dfrac{\partial b}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial a}{\partial y})dA$ where, $D$ shows the region enclosed inside the counter-clockwise oriented loop $C$. Our aim is to prove that $\int_Cf(x) dx+g(y) dy=0$ Here, $f$ and $g$ are differentiable functions and $C$ is any piece-wise smooth simple closed plane curve. Therefore, $\int_Cf(x) dx+g(y) dy=\iint_D [\dfrac{\partial g(y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial f(x)}{\partial y}]dA$ This implies that $\int_Cf(x) dx+g(y) dy=0$ Hence, the result is verified.
