Question

The wave function of a quantum particle of mass m is
                                  ψ(x) = A cos (kx) + B sin (kx)
where A, B, and k are constants. (a) Assuming the particle is free (U = 0), show that ψ(x) is a solution of the Schrödinger equation (as shown). (b) Find the corresponding energy E of the particle.
