I need help figuring out number 47. Thanks! 

### Harmonic Function

A function \( f \) is called **harmonic** when 

\[
\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} = 0.
\]

#### Prove that if \( f \) is harmonic, then

\[
\oint_C \left( \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \, dx - \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \, dy \right) = 0
\]

where \( C \) is a smooth closed curve in the plane.
