Consider the following boundary and initial conditions and solve the given partial differential equation using the separation of variables method: ∂^2u/∂t^2 = 4∂^2u/∂x^2 u(0,t) = 0, for t > 0 u(4,t) = 0, for t > 0 ∂u(x,0)/∂t = 0, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4 u(x,0) = x/3, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

Use separation of variables to find, if possible, product solutions for the given partial differential equation. (Use the separation constant -λ. If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.)
Using the method of separation of variables: Write the differential equation $d x / d t=f(x)$ as $d x / f(x)=d t$ and integrate both sides. $$\frac{d x}{d t}=1+x^{2}, x(0)=0$$
