1. Solve the following equations u 2u = 4t = 24 x2 (t 2) , given that at x = 0, u = e2t and a). 2 x x

2u u y = cosx and at b). xy = 4e cos2x , given that at y =0 , x

x= ,

u = y2 .

2u 1 u = 2. f and c = 3 , deter!ine the solution u =f(x, t) sub"e#t to boundar$ x2 c2 t #onditions, u(0, t) = 0 and u(2, t) = 0 for t 0
