Homework Statement



[tex]\vec{F}(x,y,z) = x^2y\vec{i} + y^2z^3\vec{j} + xyz\vec{k}[/tex]

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution



I got:

Curl: [tex](xz - 3y^2z^2)\vec{i} + (-yz)\vec{j} + (-x^2)\vec{k}[/tex]
Div: [tex]2xy + 2yz^3 + xy[/tex]

Are these right?

Looks good to me (although I would write the divergence as [itex]3xy + 2yz^3[/itex]:wink:)
