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 dx dx
-
- no solution
- exactly two solutions
- exactly one solution
- infinitely many solutions
Correct Option: A
(D² + 16)y = 0
A.E. → D² + 16 = 0
⇒ D = ± 4i
y = C1cos 4x + C2 sin 4x
= -4C1sin 4x + 4C2 cos 4x | ||
dx |
|x=0 = -4C1 × 0 + 4C2 × 1 = 4C2 | ||
dx |
4C2 = 1
C2 = 1/4
Now,
|x=π/2 = -4C1 × sin4/2 + 4C2 × cos = 4/2 | ||
dx |
|x=π/2 = 0 + 4C2 = 4(1/2) = 1 | ||
dx |
But | |x=π/2 = - 1 (Given) | |
dx |
Hence no solution.
