The value of the integral will be independent of the path if we can find a function
that satisfies the gradient equation above.
You have
Integrate
with respect to 
. You get
Differentiate with respect to
. You get
![\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}[x^2e^{-y}+g(y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpartial%20f%7D%7B%5Cpartial%20y%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpartial%7D%7B%5Cpartial%20y%7D%5Bx%5E2e%5E%7B-y%7D%2Bg%28y%29%5D)
Integrate both sides with respect to to arrive at
So you have
The gradient is continuous for all
, so the fundamental theorem of calculus applies, and so the value of the integral, regardless of the path taken, is
