Here is the link to the problem I am stuck on. I don't know what question b) means by solve for the boundary values? Are these the same as boundary conditions or are boundary values explicit values?

Homework Equations


NA

The Attempt at a Solution


How can I have an attempt if I have no clue how to start. Attempt = DNE

I think you are over-thinking this. The function f(x,y) = Cxy has specific values on each of the three boundary surfaces. What are these values? For example, what is the value of Cxy on the plane where y = 0?
 
Thanks phyzguy

Wouldn't it just be 0 when y=0?

Yes.
 
What about the xy plane? Would it be 0 to infinity?

Re-read the problem. The X-Y plane isn't one of the bounding surfaces.
 
Ah yes I see now, I'm so dumb. Thanks so much! Always helps to talk about a problem.
