Let $F$ be a vector field such that $$vecF=langle x^2,y^2,zrangle$$ Integration over the line segments which form the triangle with vertices $(0,0,0)$,$(0,2,0)$,$(0,0,2)$ can be achieved by parametrizing each segment and then evaluating $$sum_i=1^3int_C_ivecF(r_i^(x)(t),r_i^(y)(t),r_i^(z)(t))cdot vecr^prime_i(t),dt$$ with $vecr_i(t)$ being the parametrization of the $i$-th segment $C_i$.



However, taking into account that $F$ is a vector field with potential function $$f(x,y,z)=frac2x^3+2y^3-3z^26$$ and thus conservative, according to the generalised fundumental theorem of line integrals, since all the components $F_1(x,y,z),F_2(x,y,z),F_3(x,y,z)$ of $vecF$ are continuous in $mathbbR^3$, it follows that $$oint_CvecF,dvecr=fbig(r^(x)(0),r^(y)(0),r^(z)(0)big)-fbig(r^(x)(0),r^(y)(0),r^(z)(0)big)=0$$ given that $r(t)$ is a parametrization of $C$ (the whole triangle), which is a closed loop (same starting and endpoint). Is this true?

          Yep, this is good, as there are no singularities in the potential function.
