Finding a function with constrained second partials

Chapter , Problem 4AAE

(choose chapter or problem)

Finding a function with constrained second partials Suppose that f is a twice-differentiable function of r, that that f is a twice-cion
\(r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}\)
, and that

\(f_{x x}+f_{y y}+f_{z z}=0\)

Show that for some constants a and b,

\(f(r)=\frac{\underline{a}}{r}+b\)

Equation Transcription:

Text Transcription:

r=sqrt x^2 +y^2 +z^2

f_xx + f_yy + f_zz =0

f(r)=a/r + b
