Line integral ∫Cf(x,y)ds is equal to a definite integral if C is a smooth curve defined on [a,b] and if f(x,y) is continuous on some region containing C. Is it true or false
James K.
True or False Suppose $C$ is a smooth curve defined by the parametric equations $x=x(t), y=y(t),$ and $z=z(t)$ $a \leq t \leq b,$ and $P(x, y, z), Q(x, y, z),$ and $R(x, y, z)$ are functions that are continuous on some solid in space containing $C$, then $\int_{C} P(x, y, z) d x=\int_{a}^{b} P(x(t), y(t), z(t)) x(t) d t$
