a. Explanation Given: The function f ( x ) = cos x . Result used: The n th-order Taylor polynomial centered at a is as follows, p n ( x ) = f 0 ( a ) 0 ! ( x − a ) 0 + f ′ ( a ) 1 ! ( x − a ) 1 + f ″ ( a ) 2 ! ( x − a ) 2 + ⋯ + f n ( a ) n ! ( x − a ) n . Calculation: The n th-order Taylor polynomial centered at a = 0 is as follows, p n ( x ) = f ( 0 ) + f ′ ( 0 ) 1 ! ( x ) + f ″ ( 0 ) 2 ! ( x ) 2 + ⋯ + f n ( 0 ) n ! ( x ) n (1) The value of f ( x ) = cos x and its derivatives at x = 0 as shown in the below table. n f n ( x ) f n ( 0 ) 0 f ( x ) = cos x f ( 0 ) = 1 1 f ′ ( x ) = − sin x f ′ ( 0 ) = 0 2 f ′ ′ ( x ) = − cos x f ″ ( 0 ) = − 1 Substitute 0 for n in equation (1) and obtain p 0 ( x ) b.

| (Zero temparature ends ) Suppose that a copper rod of lenght 50 cm was placed into a reservoir with hot water at 50° C so that half of it is in the air at 20°C. At t=0 , the rod is taken out and its ends are kept at constant ambient temparature of 20° c. Let us denote the difference between the rod's temparature and the ambient temparature by U(x,t) , where x is the distance from the left end of the rod , x=0. The U(x,t) is a solution of the initial boundary value problem: U t = x U xx = 1.14 With boundary conditions as U (0,t ) = U(50,t ) = 0 (30, 0 < x < 25 0, 25 < x < 50 Initial condition : U(x,0) = Find the solution U(x,t) of the given problem.
