  1. Finding the solution of
    d²y
    + 16y = 0 for y(x) with the two boundary
    dx²

    conditions
    dy
    |x=0 = 1 and
    dy
    |x=π/2 = - 1 has
    dxdx
    1. no solution
    2. exactly two solutions
    3. exactly one solution
    4. infinitely many solutions
Correct Option: A

(D² + 16)y = 0
A.E. → D² + 16 = 0
⇒ D = ± 4i
y = C1cos 4x + C2 sin 4x

dy
= -4C1sin 4x + 4C2 cos 4x
dx

dy
|x=0 = -4C1 × 0 + 4C2 × 1 = 4C2
dx

4C2 = 1
C2 = 1/4
Now,
dy
|x=π/2 = -4C1 × sin4/2 + 4C2 × cos = 4/2
dx

dy
|x=π/2 = 0 + 4C2 = 4(1/2) = 1
dx

But
dy
|x=π/2 = - 1 (Given)
dx

Hence no solution.
