question 14

Multiple Choice

Apply a Fourier transform in $x$ in the previous problem. The resulting equation for $U ( \alpha , t ) = \mathcal { F } \{ u ( x , t ) \}$ is

• A) \(k \alpha ^ { 2 } U = U _ { t } , U ( \alpha , 0 ) = 2 / \left( 1 + \alpha ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• B) \(k \alpha U = U _ { t } , U ( \alpha , 0 ) = 1 / \left( 1 + \alpha ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• C) \(k \alpha ^ { 2 } U = U _ { t } , U ( \alpha , 0 ) = 1 / \left( 1 + \alpha ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• D) \(- k \alpha ^ { 2 } U = U _ { t } , U ( \alpha , 0 ) = 2 / \left( 1 + \alpha ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• E) \(- k \alpha U = U _ { t } , U ( \alpha , 0 ) = 2 / \left( 1 + \alpha ^ { 2 } \right)\)
