Does u = sin(3*x)*sinh(3*y) satisfy u_xx + u_yy = 0

u = \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \sinh{\left(3 y \right)},\quad u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0

Step by step

  1. u = \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \sinh{\left(3 y \right)},\qquad u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0

    To check a solution, compute every derivative the equation uses, substitute, and see whether both sides agree.

  2. u_{xx} = - 9 \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \sinh{\left(3 y \right)}

    Differentiate 2 times with respect to x.

  3. u_{yy} = 9 \sin{\left(3 x \right)} \sinh{\left(3 y \right)}

    Differentiate 2 times with respect to y.

  4. \text{LHS} = 0,\quad \text{RHS} = 0

    Substitute the derivatives into both sides.

  5. \text{LHS} - \text{RHS} = 0

    Subtract and simplify.

  6. \text{LHS} - \text{RHS} = 0\ \checkmark

    The two sides agree for every value of the variables, so it is a solution.
