Step 1
We have to prove that,
CF.ndsintD÷F(x,y)dA
Step 2
Consider Vector field ,
F=Pi+Qj
÷(F)=Px+Qy
Step 3
If C is given by the vector equation ,
r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j atb
Then unit tangent vector is
T(t)=x(t)|r|(r(t))i+y(t)|r(t)|j
n(t) is the outward unit normal vector C is given by,
n(t)=y(t)|r|(r(t))i+x(t)|r(t)|j
As we know
Step 4
CF.nds=ab(F.n)(t)|r(t)|dt
=ab[P(x(t),y(t))y(t)|r(t)|Q(x(t),y(t))x(t)|r(t)|]|r(t)|dt
=abP(x(t),y(t))y(t)dtQ(x(t),y(t))x(t)dt
=CPdyQdx
=D(Px+Qy)dA
Put Div(F) value in the above equation
Step 5
CF.nds=DDiv(F)dA
