but U x V is not.
(b) For any vectors A and B, prove that
V. (A x B)=B-(V x A) - A - (V x B)
(c) Let F(x, y, z)=z³i+y²j+z³k. Compute the following:
(i) V.F
(ii) V x F
(d) Give one example to illustrate that vectors satisfy the triangle inequality. Justify
your answer.
Question Two
(a) Prove that the vector field F(x, y, z) = (2² + y=)i − 2y(x + =)j + (zy +2²)k is
incompressible, and find its vector potential function.
(b) Let r = zi+j+zk, and let r= ||r||. If f is a differentiable function of one
variable, show that
▼(f(r)r) = rf'(r)+3f(r)
(c) If and are smooth scalar fields, show that
▼x (V) = Vox V
(d) Let f(x, y) = 2r²+zy-y². Prove that the directional derivative of f(z,y) at
point x = (3,-2) in the direction v=i-jis
