Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 7
Let \( u = u(x, y) \) and let \( x = r \cos \theta \) and \( y = r \sin \theta \).
#### Tasks:
(a) **Express \( u_x \) and \( u_y \) in terms of \( u_r \) and \( u_\theta \).**
(b) **Show that \( ||\nabla u||^2 = u_r^2 + \frac{1}{r^2} u_\theta^2 \).**
(c) **Let \( u(r, \theta) = r^2 \cos^2 \theta \). Use part (b) to compute \( ||\nabla u||^2 \). Then compute \( ||\nabla u||^2 \) directly by observing that \( u(x, y) = x^2 \).**
**Explanation:**
- Part (a) involves finding the expressions for the partial derivatives of \( u \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \) in terms of the derivatives with respect to polar coordinates \( r \) and \( \theta \).
- Part (b) requires showing the equivalence of the expression for the square of the gradient norm in terms of derivatives with respect to polar coordinates.
- Part (c) involves applying the results from part (b) to a specific function and verifying it through a different method.
