[tex] _{c}\oint F*dr=_{\sigma}\iint(curlF)nds[/tex]
F(x,y,z)=(2z)i+(3x)j+(5y)k
[tex] _{\sigma}[/tex] is a part of a paraboloid [tex]z=4-x^2-y^2[/tex] where z>=0
on the x-y plane our paraboloid is 4=x^2+y^2
and the parametric view of it is:
x=2cost y=2sint z=0

so we get
[tex] _{c}\oint F*dr= (2z)dx+(3x)dy+(5y)dz[/tex]

i can't understand the next step[tex] <br /> _{c}\oint F*dr= (2z)dx+(3x)dy+(5y)dz=\intop_{0}^{2\pi}[0+(6cost)(2cost)+0]dt[/tex]
why??

[tex] <br /> it comes from x=2cost y=2sint z=0 …<br /> <br /> (and so dy = 2cost dt) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":wink:" title="Wink :wink:" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=":wink:" />[/tex]
