Show that a smooth function y(x)y(x) that satisfies y(0)=y(1)=0y(0)=y^{\prime}(1)=0 can be written as a Fourier series of the form

y(x)=n=0ansinλnx,0x1y(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} \sin \lambda_{n} x, \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1

where the λn\lambda_{n} should be specified. Write down an integral expression for ana_{n}.

Hence solve the following differential equation

yα2y=xcosπxy^{\prime \prime}-\alpha^{2} y=x \cos \pi x

with boundary conditions y(0)=y(1)=0y(0)=y^{\prime}(1)=0, in the form of an infinite series.
