Question

### Vector Field Analysis

#### Problem Statement
For the vector field $ \mathbf{F} = x \mathbf{i} $:

a) Plot the vector field on the $ xy $ Cartesian coordinate system.

b) Find the divergence of the vector field.

c) Find the curl of the vector field.

#### Solution:

##### a) Plotting the Vector Field
To plot the vector field $ \mathbf{F} = x \mathbf{i} $, we need to represent the vectors at different points in the $ xy $ plane. The vector $ \mathbf{F} = x \mathbf{i} $ means that at a point $(x,y)$, the vector has a magnitude equal to $ x $ and points in the positive $ x $-direction (since it's scaled by the unit vector $ \mathbf{i} $).

1. At $(1, 0)$, $ \mathbf{F} = \mathbf{i} $ (a vector of length 1 in the $ x $-direction).
2. At $(2, 0)$, $ \mathbf{F} = 2 \mathbf{i} $ (a vector of length 2 in the $ x $-direction).
3. At $(-1, 0)$, $ \mathbf{F} = -\mathbf{i} $ (a vector of length 1 in the negative $ x $-direction).
4. At any point $(x, y)$, the vector is $ x \mathbf{i} $, independent of $ y $.

This creates a pattern where vectors at points with larger $ x $-coordinates are longer, and the vectors always point horizontally in the $ x $-direction.

##### b) Finding the Divergence of the Vector Field
The divergence of a vector field $ \mathbf{F} = P\mathbf{i} + Q\mathbf{j} $ is given by:

\[ \nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial y} \]

For $ \mathbf{F} = x \mathbf{i} $:

- $ P = x $
- $ Q = 0 $

So,

\[ \nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = \frac{\partial x}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial 0
