The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Superchallenge problem

Let u(x,t)u(x,t) be the solution of the wave equation utt=4uxxu_{tt} = 4u_{xx} on the whole line with u(x,0)=x2u(x,0) = x^2 and ut(x,0)=xu_t(x,0) = x. Using the change of variables ξ=x+2t\xi = x + 2t, η=x−2t\eta = x - 2t, find u(1,1)u(1,1).
