If I used the method of adding a straight line, would the line integral of the curve of the ellipse be the integral of the curl of the surface minus the integral of the straight line?

Homework Statement Evaluate the line integral I = (x2z + yzexy) dx + xzexy dy + exy dz where C is the arc of the ellipse r(t) = (cost,sint,2−sint) for 0 <= t <= PI. [Hint: Do not compute this integral directly. Find a suitable surface S such that C is a part of the boundary ∂S and use...
