The Attempt at a Solution
see attached pdfs
My problem is I am not being able to produce a non-trivial solution for all three cases. It's further complicated by the fact that the tutor hasn't provided any answer to the problem
I just want to make sure my understanding and approach to the problem is reasonable. If anyone has a good answer to the problem, please let me know
