Homework Statement



Calculate the curl F:

F(x,y,z) = cos(x)i + sin(y)j + exyk at point (1,1,1)

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



After calculating ∇×F, my answer was:

curl F = 2.72i + 2.72j + 0k

I'd appreciate a confirmation of my answer.

No answer is possible until you say at what point you are evaluating the curl. Come on.

Sorry. Point noted in question.

Yeah, my over sight. But I'm getting [e,-e,0]. My sorry. Can you check that again?

Yeah, my answer should be [e,-e,0]. I forgot to put a negative on the second rather than a positive.

Answer should be:

curl F = 2.72i - 2.72j + 0k

or

curl F = ei - ej + 0k

Then I'll confirm that.
