Find the divergence of (xi + yj + zk)(x2
+ y2 + z2)-3/2. (this is r-3)
We get
(div(xi + yj + zk))(x2
+ y2 + z2)-3/2 + (xi + yj +
zk)(x2
+ y2 + z2)-3/2
or
3(x2 + y2 + z2)-3/2
- (3/2) (xi + yj + zk)(2xi
+ 2yj + 2zk) (x2 + y2 + z2)-5/2
which is 0, where the derivatives exist, which is everywhere but at the origin.
