Section 17.1:
1) Find the gradient vector field of f (x, y, z) = xcos(y/z)
Solution:
f f f
f = i + j + k
x y z
x xy
= cos(y/z)i sin(y/z)j + 2 sin(y/z)k

2) Give a formula F = M (x, y)i+N (x, y)j for the vector
field in the plane that has the properties that F =
0 at (0, 0) and that at any other point (a, b), F is
tangent to the circle x2 +y 2 = a2 +b2 and points
in the
clockwise direction with magnitude |F| = a2 + b2 .
Solution:
F = y i xk
Note that
F(0, 0) = 0

(i) F = y i + xj
(ii) F = yz i + xz j + xy k
(iii) F = (ysinz)i + (xsinz)j + (xycosz)k
(iv) F = y i + (x + z)j y k
Solution:
Recall that = x i + y j + z k
P Q
(i) y = 1 6= x = 1. Thus, the field is not con-
servative.

Curl: F = 2k
(ii) P

Curl: F = 0. Since F is conservative
(iii) P

x ; z = 0 = x ; but z = 1 6==
R
y = 1, Thus, the field is not conservative.
Divergence: F = 0
Curl: F = 2i.
