Finding the potential function of $F$












0














$F= langle ye^{xy}+x^2,xe^{xy}+2y rangle$. Find the potential function of $F$.



My Try:



$varphi_x=f(x,y)=ye^{xy}+x^2 $ and $varphi_y=g(x,y)=xe^{xy}+2y$



Now integrated the first equation with respect to $x$



$$intvarphi_xdx=int ye^{xy}+x^2dx=frac{x^3}{3}+e^{xy}+c(y)$$



To find $c(y)$, I differentiated with respect to $y$
$$varphi_y=xe^{xy}+c^1(y)=xe^{xy}+2y$$
So, from above $c^1(y)=2y$



$$int2ydy=y^2+k$$
where k is constant and let $k=0$



So, finally I got the potential function as $frac{x^3}{3}+e^{xy}+y^2$



Is my above attempt correct?

    Try computing the gradient of $frac{x^3}{3}+e^{xy}+y^2$. Do you recover $F$? Also, you could leave $k$ as a constant to have the general potential function.

Yes, it is correct, except that you do not need to force $k=0$, the solution is just



$$
phi(x, y) = frac{x^3}{3} + e^{xy} + y^2 + color{blue}{k}
$$
