Answer

${\mathbf{H}(x, y,z)=\left(y \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)} \right)\mathbf{i}+ \left (x \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)}\right) \mathbf{j} } $

Work Step by Step

Given $$h(x, y,z)=xy\ \ln(x+y)$$ Since \begin{align}\mathbf{H}(x,y,z)&=M \mathbf{i}+N\mathbf{j}+P\mathbf{k}\\ &=h_{x}(x, y,z)\mathbf{i}+h_{y}(x, y,z)\mathbf{j}+h_{z}(x, y,z)\mathbf{k} \end{align} As, we have \begin{array}{l} {h_{x}(x, y,z)=\frac{\partial h(x,y,z)}{\partial x}=y \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)} } \\ {h_{y}(x, y,z)=\frac{\partial h(x,y,z)}{\partial y}=x \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)} } \\ {h_{z}(x, y,z)=\frac{\partial h(x,y,z)}{\partial z}=0 } \\ \end{array} So, we get ${\mathbf{H}(x, y,z)=\left(y \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)} \right)\mathbf{i}+ \left (x \ \ln(x+y) +\frac{xy}{ (x+y)}\right) \mathbf{j} } $
