Math Problem Statement
If u=(x^2+y^2/x+y),show that (du/dx-du/dy)^2 = 4(1-du/dx-du/dy)
Solution
Given the expression for :
We need to show that:
Step 1: Compute
We differentiate with respect to , applying the quotient rule and chain rule as needed.
Since the expression for contains both and , we proceed by first finding partial derivatives.
Step 2: Compute

u = (x^2 + y^2) / (x + y)
du/dx = d/dx [(x^2 + y^2) / (x + y)]
du/dy = d/dy [(x^2 + y^2) / (x + y)]
(du/dx - du/dy)^2 = 4(1 - du/dx - du/dy)
