Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What form does the solution take in the separation of variables method?

u(x,y) = X(x)Y(y)
u(x,y) = A sin(x) + B cos(y)
u(x,y) = XY + C

💡 Hint: Focus on how we assume the solution structure.

Question 2

The separation constant (λ) can be zero. True or False?

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the characteristics of the eigenvalue problem.
