Test the Vector Field F to Determine If It Is

question 16

Multiple Choice

Test the vector field F to determine if it is conservative.
- $$\mathbf { F } = \left( \frac { e ^ { x } + e ^ { - x } } { y z } \right) i + \left( \frac { e ^ { - x } + e ^ { x } } { y ^ { 2 } z } \right) j + \left( \frac { e ^ { x } + e ^ { - x } } { y z ^ { 2 } } \right) k$$

• A) Not conservative
• B) Conservative
