Solve Step 6

Find a function f such that F = Vf.
F(x, y, z) = 4y2z3i + 8xyz³j + 12xy2z?k
Step 1
Since all the component functions of F have continuous partials, then F will be conservative if
curl(F) = 0
Step 2
For F(x, y, z) = P(x, y, z)i + Q(x, y, z)j + R(x, y, z)k = 4y2z3i + 8xyz³j + 12xy2z?k, we have the following.

Step 3
Since all components are 0, we conclude that curl(F) = 0 and, therefore, F is conservative. Thus, a potential
function f(x, y, z) exists for which
f(x, y, z) = 4y z³
This means that
f(x, y, z) =
Step 4
We have
4xy²23 + g(y, z) = 8xyz3
dy
Also, since F is conservative, we know that
fy(x, Y, z) = 8xyz
Therefore,
gyly, z) = 0
Step 5
Since g,(y, z) = 0, then it must be true that g(y, z) = h(z). This means that f(x, y, z) = 4xy²z3 + h(z),
and so
f-(x, y, z) = 12xy z2
Step 6
Since F is conservative, we know that
f(x, y, z) = 12yz
Therefore,
h'(z) = 0
