The point asked about lies on the initial curve so the data answers it

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

  1. A.u(1, 1) = 2
  2. B.u(2, 2) = 4
  3. C.u(3, 3) = 3/2
  4. D.u(4, 4) = 2/3

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, and why this one tests boundary and endpoint.

The statement turns at the edge of the interval, the domain, or the parameter range.
