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)

πŸ’‘ 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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider specific conditions for using this method.

Question 1

Given the PDE βˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚tΒ² = cΒ²βˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚xΒ², use separation of variables to show how to derive the wave equation solutions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Follow through with boundary conditions for the wave equation.

Question 2

Consider the heat equation βˆ‚u/βˆ‚t = Ξ±Β²βˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚xΒ². Apply the Separation of Variables technique, and discuss the implications if boundary conditions are set to u(0,t) = u(L,t) = 0.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize how heat distribution behaves in a closed rod.
