Question 1
Given a PDE of the form \( \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} + u = 0 \), use separation of variables to determine the form of the solution.
💡 Hint: Break it down step by step, focusing on substituting the product form into the original PDE.
Question 2
Discuss how non-homogeneous boundary conditions could alter the approach taken with the method of separation of variables.
💡 Hint: Consider how we adjust our solutions based on the nature of the constraints imposed on the system.
