Question
6. Let \(\delta(t)\) be the Dirac-delta function. The position \(u(x, t)\) of a vibrating string which satisfies

\[
u_{tt} - u_{xx} = \delta(t - 1) + \delta(t - 2), \quad 0 < x < L, t \ge t_0,
\]

\[
u(0, t) = u(L, t) = 0, \quad t > 0,
\]

\[
u(x, 0) = u_t(x, 0) = 0, \quad 0 < x < L.
\]

(a) Find the series solution.

(b) Does the solution decay in time? Explain the physical interpretation of your result.
