Question 1

A scalar field is defined as T(x,y) = 3x^2 + 2y^2. Calculate the gradient of T at the point (2, 1).

💡 Hint: Differentiate with respect to x and y to find the gradient vector.

Question 2

Given a vector field V(x, y, z) = (xz, y^2, xy), calculate its divergence.

💡 Hint: Apply the divergence operator using partial derivatives across each component.
