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

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.

Which exponential function is represented by the graph?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this using our formula for exponential functions:

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. We will fill that equation in with 2 of the coordinates on the graph and come up with the values for both a and b. (0, 3) and (1, 6):

3=a(b)^0. Anything raised to the power of 0 is 1, so that means that

a = 3. We will use that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate to solve for b:

6=3(b)^1. b to the first is just b, so our equation is

6 = 3b and

b = 2.

Our equation then is

y=3(2)^x, the third choice down.

Suppose a bank charges a base rate of $5 plus $0.10 per check for your checking account. You can switch to a different account t
wolverine [178]

Answer:

10 number of checks.

Cost = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fixed Charges of first bank = $5

Charges of first bank per check = $0.10

Fixed Charges of second bank = $4

Charges of second bank per check = $0.20

To find:

Number of checks such that the charges for the banks become the same?

Solution:

Let the number of checks = x

Cost for the first bank for x checks = $5 + $0.10x

Cost for the second bank for x checks = $4 + $0.20x

As per question statement, both the costs are the same.

Comparing the values:

5 + 0.10x = 4 + 0.20x\\\Rightarrow 0.10x = 1\\\Rightarrow x = 10

So, for 10 number of checks the cost will be same.

The cost = 4 + 0.20 \times 10 = <em>$6</em>
