Question: Let (f(z)=u+i v) be differentiable. Consider the vector field given by (mathbf{F}=v mathbf{i}+u mathbf{j}). Show that the equations (abla cdot mathbf{F}=mathbf{0}) and (abla times mathbf{F}=mathbf{0})

Let \(f(z)=u+i v\) be differentiable. Consider the vector field given by \(\mathbf{F}=v \mathbf{i}+u \mathbf{j}\). Show that the equations \(abla \cdot \mathbf{F}=\mathbf{0}\) and \(abla \times \mathbf{F}=\mathbf{0}\) are equivalent to the Cauchy-Riemann Equations. [You will need to recall from multivariable calculus the del operator, \(abla=\mathbf{i} \frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\mathbf{j} \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\mathbf{k} \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\).]
