3. Exercise §2.4 #9. (May use any method). Solve the diffusion equation ut = kuzz with the initial condition u(x,0) = x² by the following special method. First show that uz satisfies the diffusion equation with zero initial condition. Therefore, by uniqueness, Uxxx = 0. Integrating this result thrice, obtain u(x, t) = A(t)x² + B(t)x+ C(t). Finally, it's easy to solve for A, B, and C by plugging into the original problem.
