MCQ
If $u = {\log _e}({x^2} + {y^2}) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{y \over x}} \right)$, then ${{{\partial ^2}u} \over {\partial {x^2}}} + {{{\partial ^2}u} \over {\partial {y^2}}} = $
  • $0$
  • B
    $2u$
  • C
    $1/u$
  • D
    $u$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a) $u = {\log _e}({x^2} + {y^2}) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{y}{x}} \right)$

$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}} = \frac{{2x}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{1 + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{x^2}}}}}.\left( { - \frac{y}{{{x^2}}}} \right)$ $ = \frac{{2x - y}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}$

$\frac{{{\partial ^2}u}}{{\partial {x^2}}} = \frac{{({x^2} + {y^2}).2 - (2x - y)2x}}{{{{({x^2} + {y^2})}^2}}}$ $ = \frac{{2{y^2} - 2{x^2} + 2xy}}{{{{({x^2} + {y^2})}^2}}}$

$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial y}} = \frac{{2y}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}} + \frac{1}{{1 + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{x^2}}}}}.\frac{1}{x} = \frac{{2y + x}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}$

$\frac{{{\partial ^2}u}}{{\partial {y^2}}} = \frac{{({x^2} + {y^2}).2 - (2y + x)2y}}{{{{({x^2} + {y^2})}^2}}}$= $\frac{{2{x^2} - 2{y^2} - 2xy}}{{{{({x^2} + {y^2})}^2}}}$

$\therefore $ $\frac{{{\partial ^2}u}}{{\partial {x^2}}} + \frac{{{\partial ^2}u}}{{\partial {y^2}}} = 0$.
