Diff Operator Distance 507F39
1. **Problem 1: Solve the differential operator equation** $$(D^2 - DD' - D)z = \sin(3x + 4y)$$
Here, $D$ and $D'$ are differential operators with respect to $x$ and $y$ respectively. The problem is to find a function $z(x,y)$ satisfying this equation.
2. **Understanding the operators:**
- $D = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}$
- $D' = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}$
The operator equation expands to:
$$D^2 z - D D' z - D z = \sin(3x + 4y)$$
which means:
$$\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} - \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( \frac{\partial z}{\partial y} \right) - \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = \sin(3x + 4y)$$
3. **Rewrite the equation:**
$$\frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x^2} - \frac{\partial^2 z}{\partial x \partial y} - \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = \sin(3x + 4y)$$
4. **Try a particular solution of the form:**
$$z_p = A \sin(3x + 4y) + B \cos(3x + 4y)$$
5. **Calculate derivatives:**
- $$\frac{\partial z_p}{\partial x} = 3A \cos(3x + 4y) - 3B \sin(3x + 4y)$$
- $$\frac{\partial^2 z_p}{\partial x^2} = -9A \sin(3x + 4y) - 9B \cos(3x + 4y)$$
- $$\frac{\partial^2 z_p}{\partial x \partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} \left( 3A \cos(3x + 4y) - 3B \sin(3x + 4y) \right) = 3A (-4) \sin(3x + 4y) - 3B (4) \cos(3x + 4y) = -12A \sin(3x + 4y) - 12B \cos(3x + 4y)$$
6. **Substitute into the equation:**
$$(-9A \sin + -9B \cos) - (-12A \sin - 12B \cos) - (3A \cos - 3B \sin) = \sin(3x + 4y)$$
Simplify:
$$(-9A + 12A) \sin + (-9B + 12B) \cos - 3A \cos + 3B \sin = \sin$$
$$ (3A + 3B) \sin + (3B - 3A) \cos = \sin$$
7. **Equate coefficients:**
- For $\sin(3x + 4y)$: $$3A + 3B = 1$$
- For $\cos(3x + 4y)$: $$3B - 3A = 0$$
8. **Solve the system:**
From second equation: $$3B = 3A \Rightarrow B = A$$
Substitute into first:
$$3A + 3A = 1 \Rightarrow 6A = 1 \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{6}$$
Then $$B = \frac{1}{6}$$
9. **Particular solution:**
$$z_p = \frac{1}{6} \sin(3x + 4y) + \frac{1}{6} \cos(3x + 4y)$$

10. **Problem 2: Find the distance of point $(2,-4,5)$ from the plane $$4x + 5y + 6z - 11 = 0$$ measured parallel to the line $$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{1} = \frac{z}{-2}$$**
11. **Direction vector of the line:**
$$\vec{d} = (2,1,-2)$$
12. **Normal vector of the plane:**
$$\vec{n} = (4,5,6)$$
13. **Distance measured parallel to the line is the scalar projection of the vector from point to plane along the direction vector.**
14. **Find a point on the plane:**
Set $x=0, y=0$:
$$4(0) + 5(0) + 6z - 11 = 0 \Rightarrow 6z = 11 \Rightarrow z = \frac{11}{6}$$
Point on plane: $$P_0 = (0,0,\frac{11}{6})$$
15. **Vector from point to plane point:**
$$\vec{v} = P_0 - P = (0-2, 0+4, \frac{11}{6} - 5) = (-2,4, \frac{11}{6} - \frac{30}{6}) = (-2,4, -\frac{19}{6})$$
16. **Distance along direction vector:**
$$d = \frac{|\vec{v} \cdot \vec{n}|}{|\vec{n} \cdot \vec{d}|}$$
Calculate dot products:
$$\vec{v} \cdot \vec{n} = (-2)(4) + 4(5) + \left(-\frac{19}{6}\right)(6) = -8 + 20 - 19 = -7$$
$$\vec{n} \cdot \vec{d} = 4(2) + 5(1) + 6(-2) = 8 + 5 - 12 = 1$$
17. **Distance:**
$$d = \frac{|-7|}{|1|} = 7$$
**Final answers:**
- Solution to differential equation:
$$z = \frac{1}{6} \sin(3x + 4y) + \frac{1}{6} \cos(3x + 4y) + z_h$$
where $z_h$ is the homogeneous solution.
- Distance from point to plane measured parallel to the line is $$7$$ units.
