Answer

$F$ is a conservative vector field with potential function $$f(x,y)=xsiny+cosz+C$$

Work Step by Step

As we are given that $F(x,y,z)=sinyi+xcosyj-sinzk$ $F(x,y)=Pi+Qj+Rk$ will be conservative when $$R_y=Q_z,P_y=Q_x$$, and $$P_z=R_x$$ Hence, $F$ is a conservative vector field with potential function $$f(x,y)=xsiny+cosz+C$$
