Question

Consider the wave equation:

utt = uxx, −∞ < x < ∞, t > 0

with ut(x, 0) = 0 and

u(x, 0) = ( 0, x < 0 and x > π)

u(x, 0) = cos2 x, 0 ≤ x ≤ π

a)Find a solution to this problem using the D’Alembert’s formula.

Then, plot the solution at t = 0, π /4 , π /2 , π

b)Find a solution to this problem using the Fourier transform and show that your solution is the same as part (a).
