QUESTION 3
Using determinants to find the cross products u and v of the following vectors :
u = i + 2j k, and v = -2i + 3j k

u = i + 2j k

v = -2i + 3j k

let u = < 1, 2, -1 >

let v = < -2, 3, -1>

uv
i j k
1

2 -1

-2 3 -1

2 -1 i - 1 -1 j + 1 2
= 3 -1

-2 -1

-2 3

Hence :
= (-2 - (-3)) i ( -1 ( 2 )) j + ( 3 ( - 4 )) k
= i ( -3 ) j + ( 7 ) k
= i +3j +7k

QUESTION 3
Given a vector field A ( x, y, z ) = ( x - y ) i + ( xy y ) j + ( zy - z ) k , find the divergence of A.
ii=1
ij=0
ik=0
A ( x, y, z ) = ( x - y ) i + ( xy y 0 j = ( zy - z ) k
div A = A = ( i d/dx + j d/dy + k d/dz ) ( A1 i + A2 j + A3 k )
= i d/dx ( x - y ) + j d/dy ( xy - y ) + k d/dz ( zy - z )
A = i ( 2x 1 ) + j (1 - 2y ) + k ( 2y 1 )
Hence :
A ( A ) = [ ( x - y ) i + ( xy y ) j + ( zy - z ) k ] [ ( 2x 1 ) i + ( 1 2y ) j + ( 2y 1 ) k ]
= [ ( x - y ) ( 2x 1 ) ] i + [ ( xy y ) ( 1 2y )] j + [ ( zy - z ) (2y 1 ) ] k
= ( 2x - x -2xy + y ) i + ( xy 2xy - y + 2y ) j + ( 2zy - zy - 2zy + z ) k
= ( x ( 2x -1 ) y ( 2x 1 )) i + ( y ( x 2xy y + 2y )) j + ( z ( 2y - y - 2y + 1 ) k
