sorry I didn't post it in the official homework thread. I need to figure this out ASAP!

massive karma for anyone who can help. The field is conservative and I can do part b if I know U. the only way I can think to get U would involve WAY more algebra than I think is necessary!

it's just basic vector calculus. I need to find a scalar function that has this gradient vector field.

problem is. I forgot how to do this!
