with a² being the thermal diffusivity. The boundary conditions
u(0, t) = 0, ux(1, t) +2u(1, t) = 0, t> 0,
are imposed.

where A is the separation constant; and express the boundary conditions in terms of
X(x).
(b) Show that there are no non-trivial solutions for A ≤ 0. (A graphical explanation would
suffice for A < 0).
(c) Show that non-trivial solutions exist for A
