Thread: Divergence and Curl???

Take the Divergence and curl of the following:

E = 5y^2 * xhat + 6xy * yhat

I suppose that my terminology for the "xhat & yhat" could look like x^ and y^; (has the hat symbol above the x and y values)...

I think that E is basically a vector field..

while , where

think you can take it from here?

E must be a vector:

The divergence of a vector is a scalar
The curl of a vector is a vector
The grad of a scalar is a vector
