For a nonzero separated solution $U=X(x)T(t)$, separation of variables gives $X^{\prime \prime }/X=T^{\prime }/T=-\lambda$. The zero Dirichlet boundary conditions force $X=\sin nx$, $\lambda =n^2$, with integers $n\ge 1$; the time factors are $e^{-n^{2}t}$. Expanding the initial profile in this Fourier sine series requires only the two already displayed spatial modes. ThusBoth terms individually solve the heat equation, vanish at the endpoints and give the required initial profile at $t=0$. The initial function is also $4{\sin }^{3}x\ge 0$ on the bar; the later solution stays nonnegative and tends to zero as heat leaves through the fixed-temperature ends.

Use integration by parts with $u=\ln (1+x^2)$ and $dv=(1+3x^2)dx$, giving $v=x+x^3=x(1+x^2)$. The remaining integrand simplifies because $du=2xdx/(1+x^2)$:The real formula is valid for every real number $x$.

The region lies in the first quadrant, inside the unit circle and above the positive branch of $xy=1/4$. In polar coordinates, $xy=(r^2/2)\sin 2\theta$, so its radial bounds are $(2\sin 2\theta {)}^{-1/2}\le r\le 1$. Such an interval exists when $\sin 2\theta \ge 1/2$, henceAt the intersections with the circle, $r=1$ and $\sin 2\theta =1/2$, giving exactly the two stated polar angles. Their Cartesian coordinates are $(\cos (\pi /12),\sin (\pi /12))$ and the swapped pair.

The Jacobian determinant contributes $dxdy=rdrd\theta$, while $xy(x^2+y^2)=r^4\sin 2\theta /2$. Thus the double integral isIts antiderivative is $-\cos 2\theta /24+\cot 2\theta /192$. Evaluating the bounds gives

For the numerical vectors, $\mathbf{b}\times \mathbf{c}=(-2,1,-2)$ and $D=(-1,1,0)\cdot (-2,1,-2)=3\ne 0$, proving noncoplanarity. The reciprocal basis isReciprocal dot products extract the coefficients of any vector in the original basis. Here $\mathbf{A}\cdot \mathbf{d}=-1/3$, $\mathbf{B}\cdot \mathbf{d}=2/3$, and $\mathbf{C}\cdot \mathbf{d}=5/3$, soSubstitution in Cartesian components recovers $(2,1,-1)$.

The Taylor expansion about $a$ has coefficients given by the successive derivatives at $a$:When $f$ is $N+1$ times continuously differentiable on the interval between $a$ and $x$, Taylor's theorem gives $R_N(x)=f^{(N+1)}(\xi )(x-a{)}^{N+1}/(N+1)!$ for an intermediate point $\xi$. If the remainders tend to zero, this yields the infinite Taylor series $f(x)={\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }{f}^{(k)}(a)(x-a{)}^k/k!$. The three functions below are real analytic near zero after taking the continuous extension in part (i).

Use spherical polar coordinates with $\theta$ measured from the positive $z$ axis and $\varphi$ around that axis:The standard full-space ranges are $r\ge 0$, $0\le \theta \le \pi$, $0\le \varphi <2\pi$. The factor $r^2\sin \theta$ is the absolute Jacobian determinant and gives the volume element.
