Example Question #41 : Divergence

Find  of the vector field:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The divergence of a vector field is given by

where 

In taking the dot product, we are left with the sum of the respective partial derivatives of the vector function. To find the given partial derivative of the function, we must treat the other variable(s) as constants.
