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 − 4x)i + 2xyj

Answer:

f = xy²-2x² satisfies that  F = ∇f.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x,y) = (y² - 4x) i + 2xy j

We want f(x,y) such that

f_x(x,y) = y^2 -4x\\f_y(x,y) = 2xy

Lets find a primitive of y²-4x respect to the variable x. We need to think y (and y²) as constants here, so a primitive of y² would be xy² the same way that a primitive of k is xk (because we treat y² as constant). A primitive of x is x²/2, thus a primitive of 4x is 2x². Thus, a primitive of y²-4x is xy² - 2x². We can obtain any other primitive by summing a constant, however since we treated y as constant, then we have that

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

where c(y) only depends on y (thus, it is constant repsect with x).

We will derivate the expression in terms of y to obtain information about c(y)

2xy = f_y(x,y) = \frac{d}{dy} (xy^2 - 2x^2 + c(y) ) = 2xy -0 + \frac{d}{dy} c(y) = 2xy + \frac{d}{dy} c(y)

Thus, \frac{d}{dy} is constant. We can take f(x,y) = xy²-2x². This function f satisfies that  F = ∇f.

We have
                             3 / (x-5) - x/5
We make the GCF and we have
                                    15/[ 5(x-5) ] - x(x-5)/[ 5(x-5)]
                                  = [ 15 - x(x-5) ]  [5(x-5)]
                                  = [ 15 - x^2 + 5x] / [ 5 (x-5) ]
                                  = [15 - x^2 + 5x]/[5x - 25]
An answer to your question is (15-x^2+5x)/(5x-25)
