Homework Statement
F(x,y,z) = xzi

The Attempt at a Solution
I just said that x = rcos(θ) so F(r,θ,z) = rcos(θ)z. Is this correct? Beaucse I am also asked to find curl of F in Cartesian coordinates and compare to curl of F in cylindrical coordinates. For Curl of F in cylindrical coordinates I obtained rcos(θ)eθ+sin(θ)zez. This doesn't look anything like the curl found in Cartesian coordinates. Where am i going wrong?
