Honestly? No idea - the "elliptic arcs" bit is stumping me. What are the earlier parts of the question? Do you have any idea what topic you are supposed to use to answer this?

Those are the earlier parts & I think Green's theorem may be applicable here? Don't exactly know how though
Well, I was thinking the elliptical curve thing had to be a red herriing, so it wouldn't surprise me. I can't remember what the rule is for it though, so I'll leave it in your hands

The rule for an exact differential or the elliptical curve bit? If it's the former, then it just means that the integrand is of the form df(x,y) for some suitable f.

OK, you made me look it up. The test where you βx the dx term and it has to equal βy the dy term.
Edit: as Rich has pointed out, this is the wrong way around. βx the dy term and vice versa.
