Get started for freeFind the shape of a mirror which has the property that rays from a point 0 on the axis are reflected into a parallel beam. Hint: Take the point 0 at the origin. Show from the figure that . Use the formula for to express this in terms of and solve the resulting differential equation. (Hint: See Problem 16.)
Obtain
For each of the following differential equations, separate variables and find a solution containing one arbitrary constant. Then find the value of the constant to give a particular solution satisfying the given boundary condition. Computer plot a slope field and some of the solution curves.
y = 1When x = 1.
Solve by use of Fourier series. Assume in each case that the right-hand side is a periodic function whose values are stated for one period.
(a) Show that , and so on; that is, for any positive integral ,
Thus, show that ifis any polynomial in the operator , then .
This is called the exponential shift.
(b) Use to show that .
(c) Replace by , to obtain
This is called the inverse exponential shift.
(d) Using (c), we can change a differential equation whose right-hand side is an exponential times a
polynomial, to one whose right-hand side is just a polynomial. For example, consider
; multiplying both sides by and using (c), we get
Show that a solution of is ; then or use this method to solve Problems 23 to 26.
