Question
Let C (R) be the vector space of "smooth" functions, i.e., real-valued functions f(x) in the variable x that have infinitely many derivatives at all
points x Є R.
Let D C (R) → C∞ (R) and D² : C∞ (R) → C∞ (R) be the linear transformations defined by the first derivative D(f(x)) = f'(x) and the
second derivative D² (f(x)) = ƒ"(x).
a. Determine whether the smooth function g(x) = 8e-3 is an eigenvector of D. If so, give the associated eigenvalue. If not, enter NONE.
Eigenvalue =
b. Determine whether the smooth function h(x) = sin(5x) is an eigenvector of D2. If so, give the associated eigenvalue. If not, enter NONE.
Eigenvalue =
