Answer:

It is not a function!

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not a function!

A function can't have two y-values assigned to the same x-value. In this case, you can se that for x=1 we have two y-values, which are y= -2 and y= -3.

We can have have two x-values assigned to the same y-value, that's why it's okay that for x=1 and x=3 we have the same y-value y=-2

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

Phantasy [73]

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

so $\vec F$ is not conservative.

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