Apply Euler's theorem and hence find x^2 d^2u/dx^2 + 2xy d^2u/dxdy+ y^2 d^2u/dy^2, if u= 5x^3y^2cose^-1(y/x)

To solve this problem using Euler's theorem, we first need to calculate the partial derivatives involved and then substitute them into the expression.

The expression given is:

\[
u = 5x^3y^2 \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)
\]

We are asked to find:

\[
x^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + 2xy \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x \partial y} + y^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}
\]

### Step 1: Calculate the first-order partial derivatives of \( u \)
#### Partial derivative of \( u \) with respect to \( x \):
We apply the product rule for differentiation.

\[
\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 5 \left( 3x^2 y^2 \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) + x^3 y^2 \left(-\frac{y}{x^2}\right) \left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{y^2}{x^2}\right)}}\right)\right)
\]

This expression needs further simplification.

#### Partial derivative of \( u \) with respect to \( y \):
Similarly, applying the product rule for the partial derivative with respect to \( y \):

\[
\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = 5 \left( 2x^3 y \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) + x^3 y^2 \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{y^2}{x^2}\right)}}\right)\right)
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the second-order partial derivatives
We now need to differentiate these first-order derivatives again.

#### Second-order partial derivative \( \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} \):

This involves differentiating \( \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \) again with respect to \( x \).

#### Second-order partial derivative \( \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x \partial y} \):

Differentiate \( \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \) with respect to \( y \), or equivalently \( \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \) with respect to \( x \).

#### Second-order partial derivative \( \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} \):

Differentiate \( \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \) with respect to \( y \).

### Step 3: Substituting into the original expression
Once we have the second-order partial derivatives, we substitute them back into the original expression:

\[
x^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + 2xy \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x \partial y} + y^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}
\]

This will yield the final result after simplification.
