Answer

The integral is $0$, irrespective of the curve $C$.

Work Step by Step

The tangential form for Green Theorem is given as: Counterclockwise Circulation: $\oint_C F \cdot T ds= \iint_{R} (\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}) dx dy $ $\oint_C x^3 \ dx -y^3 \ dy= \iint_{R} (\dfrac{\partial (-y^3) }{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial (x^3) }{\partial y}) \ dx \ dy $ or, $= \iint_{R} [0-0] \ dx \ dy$ or, $\oint_C x^3 \ dx -y^3 \ dy=0$ Thus, the integral is $0$ irrespective of the curve $C$.
