Solution by Steps
step 1
We need to find the general solution of the system of differential equations given by X′=101amp;1amp;2amp;1amp;4amp;0amp;1X with initial condition X(0)=130
step 2
First, we find the eigenvalues of the matrix A=101amp;1amp;2amp;1amp;4amp;0amp;1. The characteristic polynomial is det(A−λI)=0
step 3
Solving det1−λ01amp;1amp;2−λamp;1amp;4amp;0amp;1−λ=0, we get the eigenvalues λ1=3, λ2=2, and λ3=−1
step 4
Next, we find the eigenvectors corresponding to each eigenvalue. For λ1=3, solving (A−3I)v=0, we get v1=201
step 5
For λ2=2, solving (A−2I)v=0, we get v2=5−32
step 6
For λ3=−1, solving (A+I)v=0, we get v3=−201
step 7
The general solution is X(t)=c1e3tv1+c2e2tv2+c3e−tv3
step 8
Using the initial condition X(0)=130, we solve for c1,c2,c3
step 9
We get c1=1, c2=0, and c3=3. Thus, the solution is X(t)=e3t201+3e−t−201
Question 1(b)
step 1
We need to solve the system of differential equations dtdx=−2x+2y and dtdy=x+3y
step 2
Write the system in matrix form: X′=(−21amp;2amp;3)X
step 3
Find the eigenvalues of the matrix A=(−21amp;2amp;3). The characteristic polynomial is det(A−λI)=0
step 4
Solving det(−2−λ1amp;2amp;3−λ)=0, we get the eigenvalues λ1=1 and λ2=−4
step 5
Find the eigenvectors corresponding to each eigenvalue. For λ1=1, solving (A−I)v=0, we get v1=(21)
step 6
For λ2=−4, solving (A+4I)v=0, we get v2=(1−1)
step 7
The general solution is X(t)=c1etv1+c2e−4tv2
step 8
Using the initial condition, solve for c1 and c2
Answer
The general solution for part (a) is X(t)=e3t201+3e−t−201. For part (b), the general solution is X(t)=c1et(21)+c2e−4t(1−1).
