Vector Fields
(Two Dimensional)
Definition
Let F(x,y,z) = P(x,y,z)i + Q(x,y,z)j + R(x,y,z)k be a
vector field in space, where P, Q, and R have first-order
partial derivatives in some region T.
Solution
Definition
Let F(x,y,z) = Pi + Qj + Rk be a vector field in space, where P,
Q, and R have first-order partial derivatives in some region T.
The curl of F is the vector field defined by
Find the curl of F(x,y,z) = xyi + xzj + xyz2k at the point (-1, 2, 1).

Equations of Planes in Space

Example 4 (1/2)
Solution
Observe that both of the vectors PQ = (-2,5,1) and PR =
(-3,2,1) lie in the plane, so the vector PQ x PR is normal to
the plane. Denoting this vector by n, we have
14
Example 4 (2/2)
Finally, using the point P in the plane (any of the other two
points will also do) and the normal vector n just found,
gives
15
Parallel and Orthogonal Planes
Solution
By Theorem, the normal vector of the given plane is n =
(2, -3, 4). Since the required plane is parallel to the
given plane, it also has n as a normal vector. Therefore,
we obtain
or

Solution
The parametric equations for the curve are
Solving the first equation for cos t and the second equation for
sin t and using the identity
cos2t + sin2t = 1, we obtain the
rectangular equation
