Setting Z 1 10.2 x; s = e,st x; tdt 0 and taking the Laplace transform of the wave equation, and applying the identity L ttx; t = s2 x; s , s x; 0 , tx; 0 ; we nd that the equations 10.1 are equivalent to 10.3 s2 x; t , shx , px , c2 L xxx; t = 0 : Assuming that the eventual solution is su ciently well-behaved to allow us to reverse the order of partial di erentiation with respect to x and the Laplace transform with respect to t, we can rewrite 10.3 as 2 xx x; s , s2 x; s = gx; s 10.4 c

The Wronskian of y1 and y2 is 0 0 W y1; y2 x = y1 xy2 x , y1 xy2 x = 2cs : According to the Method of Variation of Parameters, the general solution of
