Determine whether or not f is a conservative vector field. If it is, find a function f such that f = ∇f. (if the vector field is

not conservative, enter dne. ) f(x, y) = (y2 − 6x)i 2xyj

It looks like the vector field is

\vec f(x,y) = (y^2-6x) \, \vec\imath + 2xy \, \vec\jmath

\vec f is conservative if we can find a scalar function f(x,y) whose gradient is \vec f. This entails solving the partial differential equations

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2 - 6x

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2xy

Integrate both sides of the second PDE with respect to y :

\displaystyle \int \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \, dy = \int 2xy \, dy \implies f(x,y) = xy^2 + g(x)

Differentiate with respect to x and solve for g(x) :

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2 - 6x = y^2 + \dfrac{dg}{dx} \implies \frac{dg}{dx} = -6x \implies g(x) = -3x^2+C

It follows that \vec f is indeed conservative with potential function

f(x,y) = xy^2 - 3x^2 + C

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line passing through (2,7) and (-5,2).
sasho [114]

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: → y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run.

m=\frac{rise}{run}

x^1,y^1=(2,7)

x^2,y^2=(-5,2)

\frac{2-7=-5}{(-5)-2=-7}= \frac{-5}{-7}

\frac{-5}{-7}=0.714

<u><em>Y-intercept is -7</em></u>

<u><em>But the slope is -5.</em></u>

<u><em>Answer: → 0.714</em></u>

Hope this helps!

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=-2x+5y=−2x+5 (Choice A) A Only (2,-9)(2,−9) (Choice B) B Only (-2,9)(−2,9) (
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Choice B: Only (-2, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the two choices, only the point (-2, 9) satisfies the equation:

... y = -2x +5

... 9 = -2(-2) +5 = 4 +5 = 9
