Let F (x, y) = y(1 y2)i + x(1 y2)j .(a) Show that r F = 0. What does this tell you

Chapter 17, Problem 60

(choose chapter or problem)

Let F (x, y) = y(1 y2)i + x(1 y2)j .(a) Show that r F = 0. What does this tell you aboutthe shape of the flow lines?(b) Show that r (t) = cos ti + sin tj has velocity vectorparallel to F at every point, but is not a flow line.(c) Show r (t) = (1/(1 + t2))i + (t/(1 + t2))jis a flow line for F . What is the difference betweenthis curve and the one in part (b)?
