2 [20 pts.] he vector function

F  2xy  z i  x 2 j  x k
is conservative. Evaluate  F   dr where C is any path from 1, −1, 2 to 2, 2, 2.
C
Solution: Since F is conservative, then there exists a x, y, z such that ∇  F . Once we find , then

 F  dr  2, 2, 2 − 1, −1, 2

C
We have that
 x  2xy  z,  y  x 2 , and  z  x
Integrating the first equation with respect to x while holding y and z constant yields
  x 2 y  xz  gy, z
Hence

 y  x2  gy  x2
So g y  0 and g  hz.
  x 2 y  xz  hz
 z  x  h ′ z  x
Hence h ′ z  0 and hz  c, a constant and
  x 2 y  xz  c
