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) = (3x2 − 2y2)i + (4xy + 4)j

In order for <em>F</em> to be conservative, there must be a scalar function <em>f</em> such that the gradient of <em>f</em> is equal to <em>F</em>. This means

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=3x^2-2y^2

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=4xy+4

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> :

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

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-4xy+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=4xy+4\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=8xy+4

But we assume <em>g</em> is a function of <em>y</em>, which means its derivative can't possibly contain <em>x</em>, so there is no scalar function <em>f</em> whose gradient is <em>F</em>. Therefore <em>F</em> is not conservative.
