\item Consider the equation $a u_{xx}+2b u_{xy}+ c _{yy}= f(u, \p u, x,y)$, where $u = u(x,y)$ and the subscripts denote partial derivatives. For what value of $a$, $b$ and $c$ is this equation elliptic, parabolic and elliptic PDEs, give reason: (a). $a = b = c =1$, (b). $a = c =1$, $b =0$, (c) $a =1$, $b =0$, $c =-1$. (3 marks) \\
