Question: ( a ) Show that each of the vector fields vec ( F ) = 2 yvec ( i ) + 2 xvec ( j

(a) Show that each of the vector fields vec(F)=2yvec(i)+2xvec(j)*vec(G)=2yx2+y2vec(i)+-2xx2+y2vec(j), and vec(H)=xx2+y22vec(i)+yx2+y22vec(j) are gradient vector fields on some domain (not necessarily the whole plane) by finding a potential function for each.
For vec(F), potential function is f(x,y)=
For vec(G), a potential function is g(x,y)=
For hat(H), a potential function is h(x,y)=
(b) Find the line integrals of vec(F),vec(G),vec(H) around the curve C given to be the unit arcle in the xy-plane, centered at the origin, and traversed counterclockwise.
Cvec(F)*dvec(r)=
Cvec(G)*dbar(r)=
Cvec(H)*dvec(r)=
(c) For which of the three vector fields can Green's Theorem be used to calculate the line integral in part (b)?
It may be used for
