Heat Equation

The temperature variation u = u(a:,t) in a rod of length 1r. initially at temperature given by f(x). then
positioned with one end in ice and the other end insulated. can be modeled by the heat equation

c’3;u=6§u, O<x<1r, t>O,
with boundary conditions (BCs)
u(O, t) = O, 6Iu(1r,t) = 0,
and initial condition (IC)
u(a:,0) = f(x).
(3) Show that the general solution satisfying the heat equation and the BCs is given by

(b) Show that. when fitting the IC, the unknown coefficients An can be determined from f(:r:) via
