Answer

\begin{align} \operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F}&=(x z-x y) \mathbf{i}-(y z-x y) \mathbf{j}+(y z-x z) \mathbf{k} \end{align} \begin{align} \operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F}(2,1,3)& =4 \mathbf{i}- \mathbf{j}-3\mathbf{k}\\ \end{align}

Work Step by Step

Given $$\mathbf{F}(x, y, z)=x y z \mathbf{i}+x y z \mathbf{j}+x y z \mathbf{k} ;\ \ \ \ \ (2,1,3) $$ Since \begin{align}\mathbf{F}(x,y)&=M \mathbf{i}+N\mathbf{j}+P\mathbf{k}\end{align} we get \begin{array}{l} {M=xyz} \\ {N=xyz} \\ {P=xyz}\end{array} therefore we have \begin{align} \operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F}&=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}{\mathbf{i}} & {\mathbf{j}} & {\mathbf{k}} \\ {\frac{\partial}{\partial x}} & {\frac{\partial}{\partial y}} & {\frac{\partial}{\partial z}} \\ {M} & {N} & {P}\end{array}\right|\\ &=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}{\mathbf{i}} & {\mathbf{j}} & {\mathbf{k}} \\ {\frac{\partial}{\partial x}} & {\frac{\partial}{\partial y}} & {\frac{\partial}{\partial z}} \\ {x y z} & {x y z} & {x y z}\end{array}\right|\\ &=\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(x yz)-\frac{\partial}{\partial z}(x yz)\right) \mathbf{i} -\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(xy z)-\frac{\partial}{\partial z}(x yz)\right) \mathbf{j} +\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(xy z)-\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(x yz)\right) \mathbf{k}\\ &=(x z-x y) \mathbf{i}-(y z-x y) \mathbf{j}+(y z-x z) \mathbf{k} \end{align} \begin{align} \operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F}(2,1,3)&=(6-2) \mathbf{i}-(3-2) \mathbf{j}+(3-6) \mathbf{k}\\ &=4 \mathbf{i}- \mathbf{j}-3\mathbf{k}\\ \end{align}
