Answer

$\dfrac{\partial }{\partial x}(x^2 \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x})=x^2 \dfrac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2}$

Work Step by Step

Suppose $a=x-y; b=x+y$ Here, $\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}=-\dfrac{[f(a)+f(b)}{x^2}+\dfrac{[f'(a)+f'(b)}{x}$ $x^2[\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}]=-x^2[\dfrac{[f(a)+f(b)}{x^2}+\dfrac{[f'(a)+f'(b)}{x}]$ and $\dfrac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2}=x[f''(a)+g''(b)]$ $z_y=x[-\dfrac{[f'(a)+f'(b)}{x^2}]$ and $\dfrac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2}=\dfrac{x[f''(a)+g''(b)]}{x^2} \times x^2$ Hence, it has been proved that $\dfrac{\partial }{\partial x}(x^2 \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x})=x^2 \dfrac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2}$
