A1 Use separation of variables to solve the following initial boundary value problem for the heat equation: Ut = uxx for 0 < x < 1, t>0, u(0,t) = u(1,t) = 0, u(x, 0) = = {i- for 0 < x < 1/2, 1 х for 1/2 < x < 1.

Plant Growth Researchers have found that the probability P that a plant will grow to radius R can be described by the differential equation dPdR=4DRP2 where D is the density of the plants in an area. Source: Ecology. Given the initial condition P(0)=1, find a formula for P in term of R.
