Answer»

Given

A vector field F (x, y) = (-14x - 2y)i + (-2x + 14y)j .

To Find

Whether this field is conservative or not.

Concept

A field is CALLED conservative if it is path independent. The curl of such field will be zero. That is ▽ X F = 0. In other words, it can be SAID that a field  will be conservative if it can be written as gradiant of a scalar field. In my SOLUTION, i have used this approach. I TRIED to find a scalar field whose gradiant is the given field.
