Remark. We see that F is not conservative (if it were, the line integral would be
zero automatically, since C is closed).
4. (a) Find real numbers a, b and c such that the vector field F(x, y) = (x2 y 5 , axb y c )
is conservative on the entire plane R2 .
(b) Find a function f suchthat f = F on R2 where F is in (a)
(c) Find (by any method) C F T ds, where F is in (a), and C is the path x(t) =
sin t, y(t) = 1 + sin(2t), /2 t /2.
Solution. (a) First we have try a potential function f (x, y) = Axp y q , then one
can compare (x2 y 5 , axb y c ) = F(x, y) = f (x, y) = A(pxp1 y q , qxp y q1 ) , so
F T ds =
f T ds = f (r(t))

8. Determine if F(x, y, z) = z cos(xz)i + ey j + x cos(xz)k is conservative, and find all
potential function of the vector field if F is conservative.
Solution. (i) One can evaluate curl F(x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0), and its domain is simply
connected, it follows from curl test that F is conservative on R3 , i.e. there exists
a differentiable function f (x, y, z) in R3 such that f = F on R3 .
(ii) As R3 is connected, so if one can find a potential function f (x, y, z) satisfying
, then all the other potential function will be f (x, y, z)+C where C is an arbitrary
constant. One can try f (x, y, z) = sin(xz) + ey in which one can verify .
