Prove product rules (i), (iv), and (v)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The product rules (i), (iv), and (v) are proved

Step by step solution

01

Find the curl of vector v

To prove any rule, simplify its left and right side, and comare them with each other.

Let the vector v be defined as vxi+vyj+vzkand thelocalid="1657359311673" ∇operator is defined as ∇=∂∂xi+∂∂yj+∂∂zk. The gradient of vector v is obtaind as

 Prove∇(fg)=∇g+g∇f 

In the expression∇fg=f∇g+g∇f, where f,g are two dimensional vectors..

Find the gradient of vector g.

∇g=∂∂xi+∂∂xjg=∂∂xi+∂∂x

Find the gradient of vector f.
