Let a and b be real, scalar constants. For the given vector field in space F(x,y,z) = (e^x+ayz)i+(e^y+xz)j+(e^z+bxy)k
What values of a and b is the vector field F(x,y,z) conservative?
Let a and b be any real-valued scalar constants, and let c be the path given by the unit circle which lies in the xy-plane oriented in the counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above (the +zaxis looking down) Calculate the line integral F of C (dot) dr

F = {e^x+ayz , e^y+xz , e^z+bxy}
according to Stokes' theorem
∮ F • dr = ∫∫ ∇ x F • ndS
for conservative potential field,
∇ x F = 0
{∂/∂x , ∂/∂y , ∂/∂z} x {e^x+ayz , e^y+xz , e^z+bxy} = {0,0,0}
{∂Fz/∂y - ∂Fy/∂z , ∂Fz/∂x - ∂Fx/∂z , ∂Fy/∂x - ∂Fx/∂y} = {0,0,0}
{e^x+ayz , e^y+xz , e^z+bxy}
bx - x = 0

by - ay = 0
(1)y - ay = 0
a = 1
z - az = 0
z - (1)z = 0
0 = 0
OK
