Question
In the shooting method used to solve the boundary value problems governed by a 2nd order differential equation with the vaule of the dependent vaiable specified at both boundaries of the problem, the method:
(a) converts the boundary value problem to an initial value problem in the spatial direction
(b) utilizes two coupled 1st order ODE's generated from the governing 2nd order ODE
(c) solves the problem without iteration
(d) requires a guess from an unknown initial condition at the left end of the problem.
(e) none of the above
Choose all that apply. Thanks!!!!
