4. The second order PDE ut = o²ur, where o is a real constant is called the (one-dimensional) heat equation (also referred to as the diffusion equation), whose solution is u = u(x, t). Here, as before, a is the space variable and t is the time variable. Show that u(x, t) = t-¹/²e-²/t, t> 0 is a solution to the heat equation, with o² = 1/4.

4. The second order PDE u = o²ur, where o is a real constant is called
the (one-dimensional) heat equation (also referred to as the diffusion
equation), whose solution is u = u(x, t). Here, as before, a is the space
variable and t is the time variable.
Show that u(x, t) = t-¹/²e-²/t, t> 0 is a solution to the heat equation,
with o² = 1/4.
