Homework Statement
find the potential function f for field F
F = (y + z)i + (x + z)j + (x + y)k
here is the answer
The Attempt at a Solution
From the videos I've seen it appears that finding the potential function is rather easy, just take the antiderivative of each equation, the first with respect to x, the next with respect to y, and the third with respect to z, then if there are duplicate terms, use only one of them once. Using that technique I get
(y + z)x + (x+z)y + (x+y)z + C
Clearly something else is going on that I'm not aware of.
