Let F(x, y, z) = (P(x, y, z), Q(x, y, z), R(x, y, z)) = (y cos(x) — y, sin x +2yz − x, y² + 1) be a vector field on R³ with continuously differentiable components. (a) Show that F is a conservative vector field by showing that curl F VXF= = ( ƏR ду aQ ap " əz Əz ар ƏR ƏQ Əx' əx ду = o. (b) Find all possible potential functions Þ(x, y, z) for the conservative vector field F(x, y, z) (c.f. Exercise 13.2.2).
