πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of homogeneous equations.

Question 2

True or False: A repeated root leads to a general solution involving both \(f(y - mx)\) and \(x f(y - mx)\).

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall how the roots affect the general solution forms.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider the PDE \( \frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} + k \frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial y^2} + m \frac{\partial z}{\partial x \partial y} = 0 \) where k and m are constants. Derive the general solution when k > 0 and m < 0.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Analyze the discriminant of the auxiliary equation to categorize the roots.

Question 2

Create your own PDE that is homogeneous and has a distinct root, then solve it and present your general solution.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure your constants create a distinct quadratic equation for compliance.
