### Partial Differential Equation Problem

Consider the partial differential equation

\[
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2},
\]

together with the boundary conditions \( u(0, t) = 0 \) and \( u\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, t\right) = 0 \) for \( t \geq 0 \) and the initial condition \( u(x, 0) = x\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) \) for \( 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \).

#### (a) 
If \( n \) is a positive integer, show that the function

\[
u_n(x, t) = e^{-n^2 t} \sin(2nx),
\]

satisfies the given partial differential equation and boundary conditions.

#### (b) 
The general solution of the partial differential equation that satisfies the boundary conditions is

\[
u(x, t) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} B_n e^{-n^2 t} \sin(2nx).
\]

Write down (but do not evaluate) an integral that can be used to determine the constants \( B_n \).
