Q. Determine whether or not FF is a conservative vector field. If It is, find a function ff such that F = \(\newlineabla f\). (If the vector field is not conservative, enter DNE.)\newline\(\mathbf{F}(x,y)=\langle y e^{x}+\sin(y), e^{x}+x \cos(y) \rangle
  1. Identify components of vector field: Identify the components of the vector field F(x,y)F(x, y).F(x,y)=(yex+sin(y))i+(ex+xcos(y))jF(x, y) = (y e^x + \sin(y))\mathbf{i} + (e^x + x \cos(y))\mathbf{j}.
  2. Check for conservativity: Check if FF is conservative by comparing the partial derivatives of the components.\newlineFor FF to be conservative, Py\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} must equal Qx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}, where P=yex+sin(y)P = y e^x + \sin(y) and Q=ex+xcos(y)Q = e^x + x \cos(y).
  3. Calculate Py\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}: Calculate Py\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}.Py=y(yex+sin(y))=ex+cos(y)\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y e^x + \sin(y)) = e^x + \cos(y).
  4. Calculate Qx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}: Calculate Qx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}.\newlineQx=x(ex+xcos(y))=exxsin(y)\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (e^x + x \cos(y)) = e^x - x \sin(y).
