General Solution of the Wave Equation

  1. The given wave equation is a one-dimensional wave equation.

    ∂2y∂t2=c2∂2y∂x2\frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial t^2} = c^2 \frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial x^2}

    The general solution to this equation is given by d'Alembert's formula, which represents the superposition of two waves traveling in opposite directions.

    y(x,t)=f(x−ct)+g(x+ct)y(x,t) = f(x - ct) + g(x + ct)

    where ff and gg are arbitrary twice-differentiable functions.
    The general solution is y(x,t)=f(x−ct)+g(x+ct)\boxed{y(x,t) = f(x - ct) + g(x + ct)}.

Quadratic Function Analysis

Given F(x)=ax2+bx+cF(x) = ax^2 + bx + c and F(x−1)+F(x+1)=3x2+5x−12F(x-1) + F(x+1) = 3x^2 + 5x - 12.

  1. Expand F(x−1)F(x-1) and F(x+1)F(x+1).

    F(x−1)=a(x−1)2+b(x−1)+c=a(x2−2x+1)+bx−b+c=ax2−2ax+a+bx−b+cF(x-1) = a(x-1)^2 + b(x-1) + c = a(x^2 - 2x + 1) + bx - b + c = ax^2 - 2ax + a + bx - b + c F(x+1)=a(x+1)2+b(x+1)+c=a(x2+2x+1)+bx+b+c=ax2+2ax+a+bx+b+cF(x+1) = a(x+1)^2 + b(x+1) + c = a(x^2 + 2x + 1) + bx + b + c = ax^2 + 2ax + a + bx + b + c
  2. Sum F(x−1)F(x-1) and F(x+1)F(x+1) and equate coefficients.

    F(x−1)+F(x+1)=(ax2−2ax+a+bx−b+c)+(ax2+2ax+a+bx+b+c)F(x-1) + F(x+1) = (ax^2 - 2ax + a + bx - b + c) + (ax^2 + 2ax + a + bx + b + c) =2ax2+2bx+2a+2c= 2ax^2 + 2bx + 2a + 2c

    Comparing this to 3x2+5x−123x^2 + 5x - 12:
    For the x2x^2 term: 2a=3  ⟹  a=322a = 3 \implies a = \frac{3}{2}
    For the xx term: 2b=5  ⟹  b=522b = 5 \implies b = \frac{5}{2}
    For the constant term: 2a+2c=−122a + 2c = -12
    Substitute a=32a = \frac{3}{2}: 2(32)+2c=−12  ⟹  3+2c=−12  ⟹  2c=−15  ⟹  c=−1522\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) + 2c = -12 \implies 3 + 2c = -12 \implies 2c = -15 \implies c = -\frac{15}{2}

  3. State F(x)F(x).

    Using the values a=32a = \frac{3}{2}, b=52b = \frac{5}{2}, and c=−152c = -\frac{15}{2}:

    F(x)=32x2+52x−152F(x) = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + \frac{5}{2}x - \frac{15}{2}

    The function is F(x)=32x2+52x−152\boxed{F(x) = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + \frac{5}{2}x - \frac{15}{2}}.

  4. Calculate F(2)F(2), F(3)F(3), F(−2)F(-2), and F(−3)F(-3).

    • F(2)=32(2)2+52(2)−152=32(4)+5−152=6+5−152=11−152=22−152=72F(2) = \frac{3}{2}(2)^2 + \frac{5}{2}(2) - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{3}{2}(4) + 5 - \frac{15}{2} = 6 + 5 - \frac{15}{2} = 11 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{22-15}{2} = \boxed{\frac{7}{2}}
    • F(3)=32(3)2+52(3)−152=32(9)+152−152=272F(3) = \frac{3}{2}(3)^2 + \frac{5}{2}(3) - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{3}{2}(9) + \frac{15}{2} - \frac{15}{2} = \boxed{\frac{27}{2}}
    • F(−2)=32(−2)2+52(−2)−152=32(4)−5−152=6−5−152=1−152=2−152=−132F(-2) = \frac{3}{2}(-2)^2 + \frac{5}{2}(-2) - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{3}{2}(4) - 5 - \frac{15}{2} = 6 - 5 - \frac{15}{2} = 1 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{2-15}{2} = \boxed{-\frac{13}{2}}
    • F(−3)=32(−3)2+52(−3)−152=32(9)−152−152=272−302=−32F(-3) = \frac{3}{2}(-3)^2 + \frac{5}{2}(-3) - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{3}{2}(9) - \frac{15}{2} - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{27}{2} - \frac{30}{2} = \boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}
  5. Determine if F(x)F(x) has a minimum or maximum and find its coordinates.

    Since the coefficient of x2x^2 is a=32a = \frac{3}{2}, which is positive (a>0a > 0), the parabola opens upwards. Therefore, F(x)F(x) has a minimum value.
    The x-coordinate of the vertex (the minimum point) is given by x=−b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.

    x=−5/22(3/2)=−5/23=−56x = -\frac{5/2}{2(3/2)} = -\frac{5/2}{3} = -\frac{5}{6}

    Now, substitute this x-value back into F(x)F(x) to find the y-coordinate (the minimum value):

    F(−56)=32(−56)2+52(−56)−152F\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right) = \frac{3}{2}\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 + \frac{5}{2}\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right) - \frac{15}{2} =32(2536)−2512−152= \frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{25}{36}\right) - \frac{25}{12} - \frac{15}{2} =2524−5024−18024= \frac{25}{24} - \frac{50}{24} - \frac{180}{24} =25−50−18024=−20524= \frac{25 - 50 - 180}{24} = \frac{-205}{24}

    The function F(x)F(x) has a minimum value. The coordinates of the minimum point are (−56,−20524)\boxed{\left(-\frac{5}{6}, -\frac{205}{24}\right)}.
