Answer

Conservative

Work Step by Step

Given: $F(x,y)=\sin y i+(1+x \cos y) j$ The vector field $F(x,y)=Pi+Qj$ a conservative field throughout the domain $D$, when $\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial Q}{\partial x}$ Here, $P$ and $Q$ are the first-order partial derivatives on the domain $D$. Now, $\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial y} =\cos y$ and $ \dfrac{\partial Q}{\partial x}=\cos y$ Hence, the vector field $F$ is conservative.
