Find the general solution u(t, x) of the boundary value problem for the heat equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions ?_x u(t, 0) = 0, ?_x u(t, L) = 0. The c_n below denote arbitrary constants. u(t, x) = ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{npi}{L})t} sin(frac{npi x}{L}) None of the options displayed. u(t, x) = frac{c_0}{2} + ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{npi}{L})t} cos(frac{npi x}{L}) u(t, x) = frac{c_0}{2} + ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{npi}{L})^2 t} cos(frac{npi x}{L}) u(t, x) = ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{npi}{L})^2 t} sin(frac{npi x}{L}) u(t, x) = ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{(2n-1)pi}{2L})^2 t} cos(frac{(2n-1)pi x}{2L}) u(t, x) = ?_{n=1}^{?} c_n e^{-k(frac{(2n-1)pi}{2L})^2 t} sin(frac{(2n-1)pi x}{2L}) We cannot find u(t, x) without an initial condition.
