The differential equation $$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}{\text{y}}}}{{{\text{d}}{{\text{x}}^2}}} + 16{\text{y}} = 0$$ for y(x) with the two boundary conditions $${\left. {\frac{{{\text{dy}}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}} \right|_{{\text{x}} = 0}} = 1$$ and $${\left. {\frac{{{\text{dy}}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}} \right|_{{\text{x}} = \frac{\pi }{2}}} = - 1$$ has
A. no solution
B. exactly two solutions
C. exactly one solution
D. infinitely many solutions
Answer: Option A
A. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} - {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
B. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} - {{\text{C}}_2}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
C. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
D. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} - {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
A. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{x}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
B. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
C. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{x}}^2}} + \sqrt {1 - {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
D. $$\sqrt {1 + {{\text{x}}^2}} + \sqrt {1 + {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
