Hey there,
I stumbled upon this problem and im not sure really how to do it. Ill award points to anyone who can solve this. Thank you in advance
If F=∇f find f if:
F= <2xy^3+ 3yz + z cos xz + 2x, 3x^(2)y^(2)+ 3xz + z sin yz + 2y, 3xy + x cos xz + y sin yz + 2z>

If F = ∇f, then we have by equating like entries:
f_x = 2xy^3+ 3yz + z cos(xz) + 2x,
f_y = 3x^2 y^2 + 3xz + z sin(yz) + 2y,
f_z = 3xy + x cos(xz) + y sin(yz) + 2z.
Integrate these with respect to the appropriate variables, we obtain (respectively)
f = x^2 y^3 + 3xyz + sin(xz) + x^2 + g(y,z)
f = x^2 y^3 + 3xyz - cos(yz) + y^2 + h(x,z)
f = 3xyz + sin(xz) - cos(yz) + z^2 + k(x,y).
Putting this all together (compare the three versions of f), we obtain
f(x,y,z) = x^2 y^3 + 3xyz + sin(xz) - cos(yz) + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + C.
I hope this helps!
