is conservative if we can find a scalar function 
such that 
. This is equivalent to solving the system of PDEs,
Integrate both sides of the first PDF with respect to 
:
where 
is some function independent of . Then differentiatng with respect to 
, we have
and so is indeed conservative, with
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Check picture for working out
First, let's expand the right side. Now our equation is
Now, we gather all the terms with x in it on the left side, and the numbers without x on the right. We get:
And then we can make this
We divide both sides by 12 to get x on its own, so x = 13/12 or 1.08
