how do i solve the attached calculus problem?

For each of the following vector fields, find its curl and determine if it is a gradient field.

(a) \(\vec{F} = 2yz \, \hat{i} + (2xz + x^2) \, \hat{j} + (2xy + 2yz) \, \hat{k}\).

\[
\text{curl } \vec{F} = \boxed{0}
\]

\(\vec{F}\) is a gradient field. ✅

(b) \(\vec{G} = (2xy + yz) \, \hat{i} + (2x^2 + z^2) \, \hat{j} + 5xz \, \hat{k}\).

\[
\text{curl } \vec{G} = \boxed{-2x \, \hat{i} - 5x \, \hat{j} + (2x - 2y) \, \hat{k}}
\]

\(\vec{G}\) is not a gradient field. ✅

(c) \(\vec{H} = (4xy + 2x^3) \, \hat{i} + (2x^2 + z^2) \, \hat{j} + (2yz - 5z) \, \hat{k}\).

\[
\text{curl } \vec{H} = \boxed{0}
\]

\(\vec{H}\) is a gradient field. ✅
