Homework Statement
This problem is from V.I Arnold's book Mathematics of Classical Mechanics.
Q) Show that every differential 1-form on line is differential of some function
Homework Equations
The differential of any function is
$$df_{x}(\psi): TM_{x} \rightarrow R$$
The Attempt at a Solution
The tangent to line is line itself. The differential 1-form is ##dy-dx=0##. Here I am struct. I don't know how to find out the differential. Can anyone help?
