Question

hello, i am unable to understand this question even though i have the working solution, please advice me step by step. i dont even understand how did the first equation get formed, is there some formula ?

and
= 4 p(p- 1)x² (x² + y+²)*² +2 p(x² + y° +2)P!,
-= 4 p(p-1) y (x + ỷ +z')*² +2 p(x² + yỷ + ?)®,
= 4 p(p-1) z² (x² + y² + z²)? +2 p(x° + y° + *).
Thus, V²ø = 0 gives
4p(p-1)x (x + у+7)2 +2 p(x? + ў +7)
+4 p(p-1) y (x + y + 2)*² +2 p(x² + y + ?)*1
+4 p(p-1)z (x + y + 2)"?+2 p(x + ỷ +
р-2
= 0
Which can simplified to
[4 p(p-1) + 6 p](x² + y} + z)* =
= 0.
The above equation is true for x, y and z (except possibly at (0,0,0)) if the constant p is selected such that
4 p(p-1) + 6 p= 0= p(4 p+ 2) = 0= p=0, p=-1/2.

5. Find value(s) of the constant p such that ø(x, y, z) = (x + y + z)' satisfies Vø = 0 at all points
(х,у,2) еxcept possibly at (0,0,0).
Solution. V'ø = 0 can be written out in full as
= 0.
From ø (x, y, z) = (x² + y + z)®, we obtain
= 2 px(x + y + z)P!,
Əx
= 2 py(x + y + z)*,
ду
2 pz(x² + y} + z)P.
