Chapter 12, Problem 66E(choose chapter or problem)
Laplace's equation A classical equation of mathematics is Laplace's equation, which arises in both theory and applications. It governs ideal fluid flow, electrostatic potentials, and the steady-state distribution of heat in a conducting medium. In two dimensions, Laplace's equation is
\(\frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial y^{2}}=0\)
Show that the following functions are harmonic; that is, they satisfy Laplace’s equation
\(u(x, y)=e^{a x} \cos a y\) for any real number a
