Question: Given the strong form: [ - d / d x [ ( - 1 - x ) d u / d x ] = 0

Given the strong form: [-d/d x[(-1-x) d u/d x]=0, for 0<3; u(0)=1, u(3)=7] obtain the weak form which should look like: B(u, w)=I(w) Using this weak form, let us seek to find a three-parameter approximate solution to this problem the looks like: u_N=_0(x)+c_1_1(x)+c_2_2(x)+c_3_3(x) L.e, our problem now reduces to finding the best values for c_1, c_2 and c_3. Let me provide: [_0(x)=1+2 x; _1(x)=x(3-x); _2(x)=x^2(3-x)] and _3(x)=x^3(3-x) Solve for c_1, c_2 and c_3 using the Ritz method (as discussed in class). I(u)=1/2 B(u, u)-l(u) In the above, when you replace u by u_N, then I will become a function of c_1, c_2, c_3. Now, solve for c_1, c_2, c_3 by minimizing this I, L.e, solve minimize_c_1, c_2, C_3 I(c_1, c_2, c_3)
