Question:

Useful Formulas for the Divergence. Prove

(a) div (kv) = k div v (k constant)

(b) div (fv) = f div v + v • ∇f

(c) div (f∇g) = f ∇2g + ∇f • ∇g

(d) div (f∇g) - div (g∇f) = f∇2g - g∇2f

Verify (b) for f = exyz and v = axi + byj + czk. Obtain the answer to Prob. 6 from (b). Verify (c) for f = x2 - y2 and g = ex+y. Give examples of your own for which (a)–(d) are advantageous.

Data from Prob. 6

Find div v and its value at P.

v = (x2 + y2 + z2)-3/2[x, y, z]
