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.
