For each of the following vector fields F , decide whether it is conservative or not by computing curl F . Type in a potential f

unction f (that is, gradient f=F). If it is not conservative, type N.
F(x,y)=(-6x+5y)i+(5x+10y)j
F(x,y,z)=-3xi-2yj+k
F(x,y)=(-siny)i+(10y-3xcosy)j
F(x,y,z)=-3x^2i+5y^2j+5z^2k

The key idea is that, if a vector field is conservative, then it has curl 0. Equivalently, if the curl is not 0, then the field is not conservative. But if we find that the curl is 0, that on its own doesn't mean the field is conservative.

1.

\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(5x+10y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-6x+5y)}{\partial y}=5-5=0

We want to find f such that \nabla f=\vec F. This means

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-6x+5y\implies f(x,y)=-3x^2+5xy+g(y)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=5x+10y=5x+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=10y\implies g(y)=5y^2+C

\implies\boxed{f(x,y)=-3x^2+5xy+5y^2+C}

so \vec F is conservative.

2.

\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(\dfrac{\partial(-2y)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(1)}{\partial y}\right)\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-3x)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(1)}{\partial z}\right)\vec\jmath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-2y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-3x)}{\partial y}\right)\vec k=\vec0

Then

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-3x\implies f(x,y,z)=-\dfrac32x^2+g(y,z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-2y=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies g(y,z)=-y^2+h(y)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=1=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=z+C

\implies\boxed{f(x,y,z)=-\dfrac32x^2-y^2+z+C}

so \vec F is conservative.

3.

\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(10y-3x\cos y)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-\sin y)}{\partial y}=-3\cos y+\cos y=-2\cos y\neq0

so \vec F is not conservative.

4.

\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(\dfrac{\partial(5y^2)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(5z^2)}{\partial y}\right)\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(-3x^2)}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial(5z^2)}{\partial x}\right)\vec\jmath+\left(\dfrac{\partial(5y^2)}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial(-3x^2)}{\partial y}\right)\vec k=\vec0

Then

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-3x^2\implies f(x,y,z)=-x^3+g(y,z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=5y^2=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies g(y,z)=\dfrac53y^3+h(z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=5z^2=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=\dfrac53z^3+C

\implies\boxed{f(x,y,z)=-x^3+\dfrac53y^3+\dfrac53z^3+C}

so \vec F is conservative.

Find Sn for the given arithmetic series a1=-26 d=-9 n=24
ryzh [129]

Answer:

- 3108

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a_{1} + (n - 1)d ]

Substitute the given values into the formula

S_{24} = \frac{24}{2} [ (2 × - 26) + (23 × - 9) ]

                          = 12 ( - 52 - 207 )

                         = 12 × - 259 = - 3108
