Expert Solution
Step 1

Comparing the given equations with the standard equation utt-c2uxx=0, we see that c=3.

Also the point to be analysed is (xo,to)=(1,3).

At the point (xo,to)=(1,3), 

xo-cto=1-3×3=-8.xo+cto=1+3×3=10.

The characteristics through the point (xo,to)=(1,3) are given by x-3t=-8 and x+3t=10.

The lines shown below(green and blue) are the characteristic lines to the given equation.

Follow-up Question

How can you evaluate this equation?

I don't know how to get the interval [-8,10]

The image displays the following system of equations:

\[ x - 3t = -8 \]
\[ x + 3t = 10 \]

These equations can be solved to find the values of \( x \) and \( t \). 

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Add the equations:**

   \[
   (x - 3t) + (x + 3t) = -8 + 10
   \]

   Simplifying gives:

   \[
   2x = 2
   \]

2. **Divide by 2 to solve for \( x \):**

   \[
   x = 1
   \]

3. **Substitute \( x = 1 \) back into one of the original equations to solve for \( t \):**

   Using the first equation:

   \[
   1 - 3t = -8
   \]

   Rearrange to solve for \( t \):

   \[
   -3t = -8 - 1
   \]
   \[
   -3t = -9
   \]
   \[
   t = 3
   \]

### Conclusion:

The solution to the system of equations is \( x = 1 \) and \( t = 3 \).
