Find the partial differential equation by eliminating arbitrary function from z =f (x2- y)+ g (x2+ y)

Solution

To find the partial differential equation by eliminating the arbitrary functions ff and gg from the equation

z=f(x2y)+g(x2+y),z = f(x^2 - y) + g(x^2 + y),

we'll proceed with differentiation and elimination steps.

Step 1: Define the Variables for Partial Differentiation

Let u=x2yandv=x2+y.u = x^2 - y \quad \text{and} \quad v = x^2 + y.

Then we can write z=f(u)+g(v)z = f(u) + g(v), where ff and gg are arbitrary functions of uu and vv.

Step 2: Find Partial Derivatives with Respect to xx and yy

  1. Partial derivative with respect to xx:

    Using the chain rule: zx=f(u)ux+g(v)vx.\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = f'(u) \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + g'(v) \cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}.

    Since u=x2yu = x^2 - y and v=x2+yv = x^2 + y, ux=2xandvx=2x.\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 2x \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = 2x.

    Therefore, zx=f(u)2x+g(v)2x=2x(f(u)+g(v)).\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = f'(u) \cdot 2x + g'(v) \cdot 2x = 2x \left( f'(u) + g'(v) \right).

  2. Partial derivative with respect to yy:

    Similarly, zy=f(u)uy+g(v)vy.\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = f'(u) \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} + g'(v) \cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}.

    Since u=x2yu = x^2 - y and v=x2+yv = x^2 + y, uy=1andvy=1.\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = -1 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = 1.

    Therefore, zy=f(u)(1)+g(v)1=f(u)+g(v).\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = f'(u) \cdot (-1) + g'(v) \cdot 1 = -f'(u) + g'(v).

Step 3: Find the Second Order Mixed Partial Derivatives

  1. Second partial derivative with respect to xx:

    Differentiate zx=2x(f(u)+g(v))\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = 2x (f'(u) + g'(v)) with respect to xx: 2zx2=2(f(u)+g(v))+2x(f(u)ux+g(v)vx).\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} = 2(f'(u) + g'(v)) + 2x \left( f''(u) \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + g''(v) \cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} \right).

    Substituting ux=2x\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 2x and vx=2x\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = 2x, 2zx2=2(f(u)+g(v))+2x(f(u)2x+g(v)2x).\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} = 2(f'(u) + g'(v)) + 2x \left( f''(u) \cdot 2x + g''(v) \cdot 2x \right).

    Simplifying further, 2zx2=2(f(u)+g(v))+4x2(f(u)+g(v)).\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} = 2(f'(u) + g'(v)) + 4x^2 (f''(u) + g''(v)).

  2. Second partial derivative with respect to yy:

    Differentiate zy=f(u)+g(v)\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = -f'(u) + g'(v) with respect to yy: 2zy2=f(u)uy+g(v)vy.\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2} = -f''(u) \cdot \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} + g''(v) \cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}.

    Substituting uy=1\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = -1 and vy=1\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = 1, 2zy2=f(u)+g(v).\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2} = f''(u) + g''(v).

Step 4: Derive the Partial Differential Equation

Now we can eliminate ff and gg by forming a relation among 2zx2\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2}, 2zy2\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2}, and zx\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}.

Notice that [ \frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} - 4x^2 \frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2} = 2(f'(u) + g'(v)) - 4x^2 (f''(u) + g''(v)) +
