See text and/or instructor's solution manual.
Answer. Apply
Leibniz's rule

Hence the integrand vanishes and
which
implies that
is
harmonic.
Solution. Calculate
the partial derivatives of the term
in
the integrand
and
.
Then calculate the second partial derivatives
and
![]()
Now apply Leibniz's rule

Hence
satisfies Laplace's equation
.
Therefore,
is
a harmonic function.
We are done.
Aside. We can let Mathematica double check our work.
Now add them together.
Hence the integrand vanishes which implies
that
