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.

azamat

Answer:

h = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Atriangle = b×h/2

18cm² = 6cm×h/2

36cm² = 6cm×h

h = 36cm²/6cm

h = 6 cm

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

i cant choose any that applies to this question because there is no picture added to it and there are no choices to choose from. If i were to solve it though, it would be; yes, he will save enough money for his vacation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know he would have enough--and in this case more than enough, because since he's planning to save $30 for a whole year just for $50, when he could simply make $60--which is in fact more than needed for his goal-- in just 2 months. If he were to stick with his plan though, he'd make $360. I got that by multiplying 30 by 12.
