Q. Determine whether or not F \mathrm{F} is a conservative vector field. If it is, find a function f f such that \mathrm{F}=\(\newlineabla f \). (If the vector field is not conservative, enter DNE.\newlinef(x,y)=(x,y)=exsin(y)i+excos(y)j f(x, y)=\square(x, y)=e^{x} \sin (y) \mathbf{i}+e^{x} \cos (y) \mathbf{j}
  1. Check Curl of F: To check if FF is conservative, we need to see if the curl of FF is zero. The vector field FF is given by F=exsin(y)i+excos(y)jF = e^x \sin(y)i + e^x \cos(y)j.
  2. Compute Partial Derivatives: Compute the partial derivatives: \newliney(exsin(y))=excos(y)\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (e^x \sin(y)) = e^x \cos(y),\newlinex(excos(y))=excos(y)\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (e^x \cos(y)) = e^x \cos(y).
  3. Verify Conservativity: Since the partial derivative of the ii component with respect to yy equals the partial derivative of the jj component with respect to xx, the curl of extbfF extbf{F} is zero. This means extbfF extbf{F} is conservative.
  4. Find Potential Function: Now, find a potential function ff such that \mathbf{F} = \(\newlineabla f\). Start by integrating exsin(y)e^x \sin(y) with respect to xx to find ff:f(x,y)=exsin(y)dx=exsin(y)+g(y)f(x, y) = \int e^x \sin(y) \, dx = e^x \sin(y) + g(y), where g(y)g(y) is a function of yy only.
  5. Integrate with Respect to x: Next, differentiate f(x,y)=exsin(y)+g(y)f(x, y) = e^x \sin(y) + g(y) with respect to yy to match it with the jj component of FF:y[exsin(y)+g(y)]=excos(y)+g(y)\frac{\partial}{\partial y} [e^x \sin(y) + g(y)] = e^x \cos(y) + g'(y).
  6. Differentiate with Respect to y: Since the j component of F is excos(y)e^x \cos(y), we set g(y)=0g'(y) = 0. This implies g(y)g(y) is a constant, which we can take as 00 without loss of generality.
  7. Set g(y)=0g'(y) = 0: Thus, the potential function ff is f(x,y)=exsin(y)f(x, y) = e^x \sin(y).
