[See Steps] Let f(x, y) be a function on R^2 with continuous partial derivatives up to order 2 , and consider g(r, θ) defined by g(r, θ)=f(r


Question: Let \(f(x, y)\) be a function on \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) with continuous partial derivatives up to order 2 , and consider \(g(r, \theta)\) defined by

\[g(r, \theta)=f(r \cos \theta, r \sin \theta)\]
  1. Express the Laplacian of \(f\) :
    \[\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}}\]
    in terms of the partial derivatives of \(g\).
  2. Suppose that \(f(x, y)\) is an harmonic function (that is, its Laplacian is zero) of the form \(f(x, y)=h(r)\). Find all possible such \(f\).
