Question

Determine whether each of the following functions is a solution of laplace's equation uxx uyy = 0.

Answer 1

Both functions are the solution to the given Laplace solution.

Given Laplace's equation: $u_{x x}+u_{y y}=0$

• We must determine whether a given function is the solution to a given Laplace equation.
• If a function is a solution to a given Laplace's equation, it satisfies the solution.

(1) $u=e^{-x} \cos y-e^{-y} \cos x$

Differentiate with respect to x as follows:

$u_x=-e^{-x} \cos y+e^{-y} \sin x\\u_{x x}=e^{-x} \cos y+e^{-y} \cos x$

Differentiate with respect to y as follows:

$u_{x x}=e^{-x} \cos y+e^{-y} \cos x\\u_{y y}=-e^{-x} \cos y-e^{-y} \cos x$

Supplement the values in the given Laplace equation.

$e^{-x} \cos y+e^{-y} \cos x-e^{-x} \cos y-e^{-y} \cos x=0$

The given function in this case is the solution to the given Laplace equation.

(2) $u=\sin x \cosh y+\cos x \sinh y$

Differentiate with respect to x as follows:

$u_x=\cos x \cosh y-\sin x \sinh y\\u_{x x}=-\sin x \cosh y-\cos x \sinh y$

Differentiate with respect to y as follows:

$u_y=\sin x \sinh y+\cos x \cosh y\\u_{y y}=\sin x \cosh y+\cos x \sinh y$

Substitute the values to obtain:

$-\sin x \cosh y-\cos x \sinh y+\sin x \cosh y+\cos x \sinh y=0$
The given function in this case is the solution to the given Laplace equation.

Therefore, both functions are the solution to the given Laplace solution.

The correct question is given below:
Determine whether each of the following functions is a solution of Laplace's equation uxx + uyy = 0. (Select all that apply.) u = e^(−x) cos(y) − e^(−y) cos(x) u = sin(x) cosh(y) + cos(x) sinh(y)
