1) Eliminate the parameters 𝑎 and 𝑏 from the following equation and find the corresponding p.d.e. :
𝑧 2 (1 + 𝑎3 ) = 8(𝑥 + 𝑎𝑦 + 𝑏)3 .
2) If 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) = 0 where 𝑢 = 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) and 𝑣 = 𝑣(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) are known functions of 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑧, and 𝐹 is
an arbitrary function of 𝑢 and 𝑣 having first order partial derivatives with respect to u and v. Show
that, the equation,
𝜕(𝑢, 𝑣) 𝜕(𝑢, 𝑣) 𝜕(𝑢, 𝑣)
𝑝⋅ +𝑞⋅ =
𝜕(𝑦, 𝑧) 𝜕(𝑧, 𝑥) 𝜕(𝑥, 𝑦)
is the p.d.e. of first order for the given surface 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) = 0.
3) Eliminate the arbitrary function 𝐹 from the following equation and find the corresponding p.d.e. :
