Consider the vector field
F ( x , y , z ) = x sin z i + y cos x j + z tan y k .
The curl of this vector field at the point ( 6 7 π , 6 π , 3 2 π ) can be expressed in the form a i + b j + c k where a , b and c are real numbers. a + b + c can be expressed in the form e d π where d and e are coprime positive integers. What is d + e ?

The curl of F is $$\mathrm{curl} \, \mathbf{F} = \nabla \times \mathbf{F}= \left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i}& \mathbf{j}& \mathbf{k}\\ \frac{\partial}{\partial x}& \frac{\partial}{\partial y}& \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\\ x \sin z& y \cos x& z \tan y \end{array} \right|$$ $$=\langle z \sec^2 y, x \cos z, -y \sin x \rangle.$$ At ( 6 7 π , 6 π , 3 2 π ) , we get $$\langle \frac{8\pi}{9},-\frac{7\pi}{12},\frac{\pi}{12} \rangle.$$ So a + b + c = 1 8 7 π , and d + e = 2 5 .
can u explain hw did u get these 3 values of a.b &c

We got that the curl is $$\langle z \sec^2y, x \cos z, -y \sin x \rangle.$$ We are interested in the point ( x , y , z ) = ( 6 7 π , 6 π , 3 2 π ) , so everywhere we see x in the expression for the curl, we plug in 6 7 π ; every time we see a y , we plug in 6 π ; and everywhere we see z , we plug in 3 2 π . So we get $$\langle \frac{2\pi}{3} \sec^2\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6} \cos \frac{2\pi}{3}, -\frac{\pi}{6} \sin \frac{7\pi}{6} \rangle,$$ which simplifies to $$\langle \frac{8\pi}{9},-\frac{7\pi}{12},\frac{\pi}{12} \rangle.$$ This is just another way of writing $$\frac{8\pi}{9} \mathbf{i} -\frac{7\pi}{12} \mathbf{j} +\frac{\pi}{12} \mathbf{k}.$$

thanku brother..:)
actually i forgot to set the calc on radian mode and i solved it on degree mode so i got diffrent answer ....now recently i made it again putting calc in rad mode and got the correct anwser..thanku...thanku..

The curl of F at the point ( 6 7 π , 6 π 3 2 π ) is ∇ × F = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ i ∂ x ∂ x sin z j ∂ y ∂ y cos x k ∂ z ∂ z tan y ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = ( ∂ y ∂ ( z tan y ) − ∂ z ∂ ( y cos x ) ) i − ( ∂ x ∂ ( z tan y ) − ∂ z ∂ ( x sin z ) ) j + ( ∂ x ∂ ( y cos x ) − ∂ y ∂ ( x sin z ) ) k = ( z sec 2 y − 0 ) i − ( 0 − x cos z ) j + ( − y sin x − 0 ) k = z sec 2 y i + x cos z j − y sin x k = 9 8 π i − 1 2 7 π j + 1 2 1 π k Thus, a + b + c = 9 8 π − 1 2 7 π + 1 2 1 π = 1 8 7 π and d + e = 7 + 1 8 = 2 5 . # Q .
