1. Use the method of characteristics to solve: xux+yuy=1



2. given condition of u(x,y)=1 when x2+y2=1



3. I know I need to transpose into the s-t domain. Using: du/ds=uxdx/ds+uydy/ds=aux+buy
so a=x & b=y...

please help

I was able to solve for the following:
du/ds=1 integrate to get u=s+K1
dx/ds=x integrate to get x=K2es
dy/ds=y integrate to get y=K3es

I am unsure how to use the IC's
