Suppose that U is a solution to the Laplace equation in the disk Ω = {r ≤ 1} and that U(1, θ) = 5 − sin^2(θ). (i) Without finding the solution to the equation, compute the value of U at the origin – i.e. at r = 0. (ii) Without finding the solution to the equation, determine the location of the maxima and minima of U in Ω. (Hint: sin^2(θ) =(1−cos^2(θ))/2.)

Question

Suppose that U is a solution to the Laplace equation in the disk Ω = {r ≤ 1} and
that U(1, θ) = 5 − sin^2(θ).
(i) Without finding the solution to the equation, compute the value of U at the
origin – i.e. at r = 0.
(ii) Without finding the solution to the equation, determine the location of the
maxima and minima of U in Ω.
(Hint: sin^2(θ) =(1−cos^2(θ))/2.)
