Classifying first-order PDE $C_t+af(t)C_x=-1$ - Hyperbolic or parabolic?

124 Views Asked by At

I need to classify this PDE into hyperbolic, elipctic or parabolic:

$$C_t+af(t)C_x=-1 \, .$$

Well, once there are not second derivatives, I though in parabolic. However, I understood a professor saying that the Burgers' Equation $u_t+uu_x=0$ is hyperbolic (and it has not second derivatives as well). So, I am confused. Is it so a non-homogeneus hyperbolic PDE?

Many thanks in advance!
