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.

During his tennis career in singles​ play, John won 4 fewer tournament A titles than tournament B titles and 2 more tournament C
Dafna11 [192]
A-4=B
2+C=B
A+B+C=13

A=b+4
C=B-2
Plug in to equation 3
(B+4)+B+(B-2)=13
Rearrange
B=11/3
A=(11/3)+4= 23/3
C=(11/4)-2= 3/4

Compare and contrast subtracting integers and subtracting whole numbers
Galina-37 [17]

Subtracting whole numbers does not include subtracting negative numbers, whereas when subtracting integers you can include negative numbers.
