Homework Statement



Find a potential [tex]f = grad \vec{v}[/tex] for a given [tex]\vec{v}(x,y,z)[/tex]

Homework Equations



[tex]\vec{v} = [3x, 5y, -4z][/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



You can't take the gradient of a vector field in this context.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
gradv = (3,5,-4).

What are you talking about ?

Gradient of a scalar field is 0.
