What does the function u(x, y, 0) = f(x, y) represent?
💡 Hint: Think about the variables representing shape.
True or False: The initial velocity of the membrane is represented by u(x, y, 0) = f(x, y).
💡 Hint: Remember which function refers to velocity, not shape.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a vibrating membrane with f(x, y) defined as a paraboloid shape. Describe the initial conditions and how this might influence the vibration modes.
💡 Hint: Focus on how different initial shapes change the modes.
If you had a complex initial velocity function g(x, y) that varies sinusoidally, discuss its potential effects on the membrane's vibrations.
💡 Hint: Think about how non-uniform velocities affect wave propagation.
