Theorem:
Let C be a curve in 2D-space given parametrically by
x = x(t) , y = y (t)

where x (t) and y (t) are continuous functions. If an arc-length parameter s is
introduced with its reference point at (x(t0), y (t0)), then the parameters s and t are
related by

Since expressions (i) and (ii) has same left hand sides so their right hand sides are
also equal.
Compare both expressions and find the value of f(y) and f(x), and show z.
Since it is proved that the given differential is exact, so we will do the above
stated procedure to determine z.

Let us sub-divide C into two parts c1 (line segment joining the points
(2, 1) to (4, 1) ) and c2 (line segment joining the points ( 2, 1) to (4, 5) ) , as shown
in the figure.
Line integral along C may be expressed as a sum of two line integrals, the first
along c1 and the second along c2. That is,

Here, since C is the line segment
from ( 2, 1) to (4, 5) . So first we
will find the equation of C.
Let ( x1 , y1 ) = (2, 1) and
( x2 , y2 ) = (4, 5) then

As we are converting given line integral to one variable x, so for limits of integral
we see how x varies along C, which is from 2 to 4.
