The euler operator means homogeneous

Let u = u(x, y) be the solution of the Cauchy problem , with . Then which of the following statements is true?

  1. A.u(1, 0) = 0
  2. B. whenever
  3. C. for all
  4. D. whenever

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
