Evaluate

Anyone please?

I have been reading the books over and over, the problem is the book asked this question without ever showing methods on how to solve the problem.

The two example in the book basically solve the poissons equation with normal ways of separation of variable and then put into the formula of

$$u(x_0,y_0) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\Omega} f(x,y) G(x,y,x_0,y_0) ds$$

Then just equate Green function G.

But in this case, $u(x,y)\;=\; x\;=\; r\; cos(\theta)$ where u is harmonic function with boundary condition of $u(1,\theta)= cos \theta$. Solving this Laplace equation with boundary condition will quickly give $u(r,\theta) = r cos\theta$! Which is going nowhere.

Please help.
