How would one obtain a Fourier Transform solution of a non homogeneous heat equation? I've arrived at a form that has

\frac{\partial }{ \partial t }\hat u_c (\omega,t) + (\omega^2 + 1)\hat u_c (\omega,t) = -f(t)

My professor gave us the hint to use an integrating factor, but I don't see how this would work. If p(x) = (\omega^2 + 1), and q(x) = -f(t), then the integrating factor would be e^{\int(\omega^2 +1)dw}

Multiplying through by this would not give the usual integrating factor form of (..)' on the left hand side. Can anyone help?

Anybody?
 
The integrating factor is :
<br /> e^{\int(\omega^2 +1)dt}<br />

but I don't know what to do next
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
