Homework Statement


Use Fourier transforms to get solution in terms of f(t) adn g(t)

Homework Equations


d4u + K2*d2u =0
dx4 (space) dt2

u(0,t)=f(t)
u'(0,t)=g(t)
u''(L,t)=0
u'''(L,t)=0

The Attempt at a Solution


I been working no it for hours the best I got is
k4U +K* (d2U/dt2) =0
I'm not sure where to go since i don't hve initial conditions

Really need someone to show me how to do the question or a similar one

Yes, you do have initial conditions! They are u(x,0)= f(t) and u'(x,0)= g(t). (I assume the ' denotes differentiation with respect to t.)

my fault, there aren't meant to be initial ocnidtion, just fixed the question
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
