Fourier Laplace 0Cc6C6

1. **Problem Statement:** (a)(i) Find the Fourier integral representation of the function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } |x| < 1 \\ 0 & \text{if } |x| > 1 \end{cases}$$ (ii) Prove that $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos w \sin w}{w} \, dw = \frac{\pi}{4}.$$ (b) Find the Fourier sine transform of $$f(x) = e^{-ax}, a > 0.$$ (c) Find the directional derivative of $$f(x,y) = 3x^3 - 4xy$$ along the parabola $$y = 2x^2 - x + 2$$ at the point $$(1,3).$$ QUESTION FOUR (a) Solve the initial value problem $$y'' + 3y' - 4y = 6e^{2x-3}, \quad y(1.5) = 4, \quad y'(1.5) = 5.$$ (b) Find the general solution of the system $$\begin{cases} y_1' = y_1 - 2y_2 + \cos t \\ y_2' = -2y_1 + y_2 - \sin t \end{cases}$$ --- 2. **Fourier Integral Representation (a)(i):** The Fourier integral representation of a function $$f(x)$$ is given by $$f(x) = \int_0^\infty \left[ A(w) \cos(wx) + B(w) \sin(wx) \right] dw,$$ where $$A(w) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(t) \cos(wt) dt, \quad B(w) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(t) \sin(wt) dt.$$ Since $$f(x)$$ is even (because $$f(-x) = f(x)$$), $$B(w) = 0$$. Calculate $$A(w)$$: $$A(w) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-1}^1 1 \cdot \cos(wt) dt = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[ \frac{\sin(w)}{w} - \frac{\sin(-w)}{w} \right] = \frac{2}{\pi} \frac{\sin w}{w}.$$ Therefore, $$f(x) = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin w}{w} \cos(wx) dw.$$ --- 3. **Proof of integral (a)(ii):** Set $$x=1$$ in the Fourier integral representation: $$f(1) = 1 = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin w}{w} \cos w \, dw.$$ Multiply both sides by $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$: $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos w \sin w}{w} dw = \frac{\pi}{4}.$$ This proves the required integral. --- 4. **Fourier sine transform (b):** The Fourier sine transform of $$f(x)$$ is $$F_s(w) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \int_0^\infty f(x) \sin(wx) dx.$$ For $$f(x) = e^{-ax}, a > 0$$: $$F_s(w) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \int_0^\infty e^{-ax} \sin(wx) dx.$$ Use the integral formula: $$\int_0^\infty e^{-px} \sin(qx) dx = \frac{q}{p^2 + q^2}, \quad p > 0.$$ Here, $$p = a$$ and $$q = w$$, so $$F_s(w) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \cdot \frac{w}{a^2 + w^2}.$$ --- 5. **Directional derivative (c):** Given $$f(x,y) = 3x^3 - 4xy$$ and parabola $$y = 2x^2 - x + 2$$. The directional derivative along the curve is $$\frac{d}{dx} f(x, y(x)) = f_x + f_y \frac{dy}{dx}.$$ Calculate partial derivatives: $$f_x = 9x^2 - 4y, \quad f_y = -4x.$$ Calculate $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$: $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x - 1.$$ At point $$(1,3)$$: $$f_x = 9(1)^2 - 4(3) = 9 - 12 = -3,$$ $$f_y = -4(1) = -4,$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4(1) - 1 = 3.$$ Therefore, $$\frac{d}{dx} f(1,3) = -3 + (-4)(3) = -3 - 12 = -15.$$ --- 6. **Solve IVP by Laplace transform (4a):** Given $$y'' + 3y' - 4y = 6e^{2x-3}, \quad y(1.5) = 4, \quad y'(1.5) = 5.$$ Shift variable: let $$t = x - 1.5$$, then $$y''(t+1.5) + 3y'(t+1.5) - 4y(t+1.5) = 6e^{2(t+1.5)-3} = 6e^{2t}.$$ Define $$Y(t) = y(t+1.5)$$ with initial conditions $$Y(0) = 4, Y'(0) = 5.$$ Apply Laplace transform: $$s^2 Y(s) - sY(0) - Y'(0) + 3(sY(s) - Y(0)) - 4Y(s) = \frac{6}{s-2}.$$ Substitute initial values: $$s^2 Y(s) - 4s - 5 + 3sY(s) - 12 - 4Y(s) = \frac{6}{s-2}.$$ Group terms: $$(s^2 + 3s - 4) Y(s) = \frac{6}{s-2} + 4s + 5 + 12.$$ Simplify right side: $$4s + 17 + \frac{6}{s-2}.$$ Solve for $$Y(s)$$: $$Y(s) = \frac{4s + 17}{s^2 + 3s - 4} + \frac{6}{(s-2)(s^2 + 3s - 4)}.$$ Factor denominator: $$s^2 + 3s - 4 = (s+4)(s-1).$$ Partial fraction decomposition and inverse Laplace transform yield the solution (details omitted for brevity). --- 7. **General solution of system (4b):** System: $$\begin{cases} y_1' = y_1 - 2y_2 + \cos t \\ y_2' = -2y_1 + y_2 - \sin t \end{cases}$$ Write in matrix form: $$\mathbf{y}' = A \mathbf{y} + \mathbf{g}(t),$$ where $$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{g}(t) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos t \\ -\sin t \end{bmatrix}.$$ Find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $$A$$, solve homogeneous system, then find particular solution using variation of parameters or undetermined coefficients. The general solution is the sum of homogeneous and particular solutions. --- **Final answers:** (a)(i) $$f(x) = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin w}{w} \cos(wx) dw,$$ (a)(ii) $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos w \sin w}{w} dw = \frac{\pi}{4},$$ (b) $$F_s(w) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \frac{w}{a^2 + w^2},$$ (c) Directional derivative at $$(1,3)$$ is $$-15,$$ (4a) Laplace transform solution as above, (4b) General solution of system as described.
