Given
utt − uxx = 0, 0 < x < 2, t > 0
u(0, t) = 0 = u(2, t), ∀ t > 0,
u(x, 0) = sin(πx) + 2sin(2πx), 0 ≤ x ≤ 2,
ut(x, 0) = 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.
which is a wave equation of finite length. So solution is
u(x, t) =
Here c = 1, l = 2, f(x) = sin(πx) + 2sin(2πx)
So,
and u(x, t) =
u(x, 0) =
Comparing we get
D2 = 1, D4 = 2, Dn = 0 for other natural number n
Hence we get
u(x, t) = sin(πx) cos(πt) + 2sin(2πx)cos(2πt)
Then u(1, 1) = 0
u(1/2, 1) = -1
u(1/2, 2) = 1
u(1/2, 1/2) = 0
Option (3) is correct, other are false.
