Question 1
What form does the solution take in the Separation of Variables method?
- u(x,t) = X(x)T(t)
- u(x,t) = X(t)T(x)
- u(x,t) = T(x) + X(t)
💡 Hint: Look for a format that allows for independent solutions.
Question 2
True or False: In the Separation of Variables method, you can always separate the variables regardless of the PDE.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider specific conditions for using this method.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given the PDE ∂²u/∂t² = c²∂²u/∂x², use separation of variables to show how to derive the wave equation solutions.
💡 Hint: Follow through with boundary conditions for the wave equation.
Question 2
Consider the heat equation ∂u/∂t = α²∂²u/∂x². Apply the Separation of Variables technique, and discuss the implications if boundary conditions are set to u(0,t) = u(L,t) = 0.
💡 Hint: Visualize how heat distribution behaves in a closed rod.
