Exercise 6.4
Text Book Back Questions and Answers
Question 1.
If z = (ax + b) (cy + d), then find 
Solution:
Given, z = (ax + b) (cy + d)
Differentiating partially with respect to x we get, 
= (cy + d) (a + 0)
= a(cy + d)
Differentiating partially with respect to y we get,

= (cy + d) (a + 0)
= a(cy + d)
Differentiating partially with respect to y we get,

= (ax + b)(c + 0)
= c(ax + b)
Question 2.
If u = exy, then show that 
Solution:
Given, u = exy
Differentiating partially with respect to x, we get,

= y(yexy)
= y2exy ……… (1)
We have u = exy
Differentiating partially with respect to y,

Again differentiating partially with respect to x, we get,

Question 3.
Let u = x cos y + y cos x. Verify 
Solution:
u = x cos y + y cos x
Differentiating partially with respect to y, we get, 
= x(-sin y) + cos x
Again differentiating partially with respect to x, we get

= -sin y (1) + (-sin x)
= -sin y – sin x ……… (1)
Now u = x cos y + y cos x
Differentiating partially with respect to x we get 
= cos y (1) + y(-sin x)
= cos y – y sin x
Again differentiating partially with respect to y we get,

Question 4.
Verify Euler’s theorem for the function u = x3 + y3 + 3xy2.
Solution:
u = x3 + y3 + 3xy2
i.e., u(x, y) = x3 + y3 + 3xy2
u(tx, ty) = (tx)3 + (ty)3 + 3(tx) (ty)2
= t3x3 + t3y3 + 3tx (t2y2)
= t3(x3 + y3 + 3xy2)
= t3u
∴ u is a homogeneous function in x and y of degree 3.
∴ By Euler’s theorem,

Verification:
u = x3 + y3 + 3xy2

= 3x2 + 3y2(1)
= 3x2 + 3y2 …….. (1)

= 3(x3 + y3 + 3xy2)
= 3u
Hence Euler’s theorem is verified.
Question 5.
Let
By using Euler’s theorem show that 
Solution:
Given, 

∴ u is a homogeneous function in x and y of degree 5.
∴ By Euler’s theorem,

Hence Proved.
