For , the separated equations areOn a region containing the prescribed points, take and . Integration givesThe two specified values, verified in the original PDF, giveDividing these relations eliminates :The right-hand side is the square of the positive base on the left, which differs from one. Thus , and either original condition gives . ThereforeIts partial derivatives satisfy and , verifying the equation wherever its coefficients are defined. Substitution at the two assigned points gives and exactly. The formula extends to any region where and .
