1. Eliminate the arbitrary function F from each of the following equations
and nd the corresponding PDE.
(a) F (xy, x + y z) = 0
( )
(b) z = F xy
z
(c) z = F (x zy)
2. Eliminate the parameters a and b from the each of the following equations
and nd the corresponding PDE.
(a) z = (x + a)(y + b)
(b) 2z = (ax + y)2 + b
(c) z 2 (1 + a3 ) = 8(x + ay + b)3
3. Find the general solution of
(a) y 2 p xyq = x(z 2y)
(b) yzp + xzq = x + y
(c) 2x(y + z 2 )p + y(2y + z 2 )q = z 3
(d) (z 2 2yz y 2 )p + x(y + z)q = x(y z)
4. Verify that the Pfaan dierential equations are integrable and nd the
corresponding integrals.
(a) (y 2 + yz)dx + (xz + z 2 )dy + (y 2 xy)dz = 0
(b) (1 + yz)dx + x(z x)dy (1 + xy)dz = 0
(c) (6x + yz)dx + (xz 2y)dy + (xy + 2z)dz = 0
(d) (2x + y 2 + 2xz)dx + 2xydy + x2 dz = 0
5. Show that the equations p2 +q 2 1 = 0, (p2 +q 2 )xpz = 0 are compatible
and nd the one parameter family of common solutions.
