Rapid Recall

For the vector field $\vec F = (xyz, 3x+4y+5z, xy+z^2)$, compute $D\vec F$ and then compute $\vec \nabla \cdot \vec F$ and $\vec \nabla \times \vec F$. Recall $\vec \nabla = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial x},\frac{\partial}{\partial y},\frac{\partial}{\partial z}\right)$.

Solution

We compute

$D\vec F = \begin{bmatrix}\begin{matrix}yz\\3\\y\end{matrix}&\begin{matrix}xz\\4\\x\end{matrix}&\begin{matrix}xy\\5\\2z\end{matrix}\end{bmatrix}$,
$\vec \nabla \cdot \vec F = yz+4+2z$, and
$\vec \nabla \times \vec F = (x-5, xy-y, 3-xz)$.

Do you notice how every single entry from the derivative of $\vec F$ shows up in exactly one spot in one of the latter quantities?

Solution

It's a helix, radius is 3, spiraling counterclockwise (when viewed from above) at it wraps around the $z$ axis for $0\leq t\leq 6\pi$.

Draw the surface $\vec r(t,v) = (3\cos t, 3\sin t, v)$ for $0\leq t\leq 2\pi$ and $1\leq v\leq 4$.

Solution

It's a right circular cylinder of radius 3, whose center lies along the $z$-axis for $1\leq z\leq 4$.

Suppose $f=x^2y+3z$.

Let $\vec F = (-5y,5x)$.
- Find a potential for $\vec F$, or explain why none exists.
