Description
1. (10 pts) Let F� : R2 −→ R2 be the vector field defined by F� (x, y) =
xˆı + yjˆ.
(a) Show that F� is a gradient flow.
(b) Find the fl flow line that passes through (a, b) = (0, 0) at time t = 0.

Just for fun: What are the Taylor polynomials of the function
f(x) = e−1/x2
,
at the origin? What does this say about the remainder?
