Solving a Trigonometry Problem: Find u(x,t) Polynomial

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a trigonometry problem to express u(x,t) as a polynomial. The original poster seeks assistance in determining the values of constants involved, noting difficulties with integration and the expression of these constants. They mention that trigonometric elements are not clearly expressed in their current approach. However, the responses highlight that the provided images of the solution are unreadable, prompting a request for the solution to be typed out instead. Clear communication of the mathematical work is essential for effective assistance.

My solution: http://snk066.tk/math/my_solution.jpg
What you need to? I need an answer in the form: u (x,t) = (some polynomial)
The solution is not really necessary, if someone will explain-thank you, but if there are calculators that believe this, one answer will do.
I tried to decide for myself, it did not work. The problem consists in obtaining the values of the constants. The integration and expression of these constants, where is trigonometry, they're just not expressed, maybe under the cosines of the bad roots.

If you really do want help you should type out your solution; the images you posted are unreadable on my screen. Read the PF Guidelines.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
