### Calculating the k-component of Curl for a Given Vector Field

In this exercise, you are asked to find the \( k \)-component of the curl, denoted as \( \text{curl} \, \mathbf{F} \), for the following vector field \( \mathbf{F} \) in the plane:

\[ \mathbf{F} = (x e^y) \mathbf{i} + (8y e^x) \mathbf{j} \]

This involves determining the partial derivatives of the vector field's components and then finding their difference as per the definition of curl in a two-dimensional context.

To find the \( k \)-component of \( \text{curl} \, \mathbf{F} \):

\[ (\text{curl} \, \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{k} = \left( \frac{\partial (8y e^x)}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial (x e^y)}{\partial y} \right) \mathbf{k} \]

Perform the partial derivatives:

1. Calculate \( \frac{\partial (8y e^x)}{\partial x} \):
\[ \frac{\partial (8y e^x)}{\partial x} = 8y e^x \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{\partial (x e^y)}{\partial y} \):
\[ \frac{\partial (x e^y)}{\partial y} = x e^y \]

Now, subtract these results:

\[ (\text{curl} \, \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{k} = \left( 8y e^x - x e^y \right) \mathbf{k} \]

Hence, the \( k \)-component of the curl for the given vector field \( \mathbf{F} \) is:

\[ (\text{curl} \, \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{k} = \left( 8y e^x - x e^y \right) \mathbf{k} \]
