Alright, working on 1 first:

sighn up for this free stuff site for me and will give you answer!! do me a favor and i do favour for you? https://www.listia.com/signup/5916570

please??

Conservative means it has a potential function \(f\) such that: \[ \nabla f = \mathbf F \]Right?

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Yeah, I just forgot how to do this mechanically, it has to do with partial derivatives, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that having a curl of 0 implies that it is conservative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So \[ \nabla \times \mathbf F = 0 \]

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Alright, cool. So I just have to take the curl of each of these to show whether it is or is not conservative, can do. One second.

Alright, I understand how to do that, going to move on to a different type of problem, finding the potential function for a given vector field.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

New problem means new question.

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Yup, opened up a new question.
