Solve the system of linear differential equations: {dtdx=3x+4ydtdy=−4x+3y
Solution
To solve the system of linear differential equations: {dtdx=3x+4ydtdy=−4x+3y we write the system in matrix form: dtd(xy)=(3−443)(xy) The coefficient matrix is: A=(3−443) To find the general solution, we need the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. Find the characteristic equation: det(A−λI)=0det(3−λ−443−λ)=0(3−λ)2−(4)(−4)=0(3−λ)2+16=0λ2−6λ+25=0 Solve the characteristic equation: λ=26±36−100λ=26±−64λ=3±4i The eigenvalues are λ1=3+4i and λ2=3−4i. Next, find the eigenvectors. For λ=3+4i: (A−(3+4i)I)v=0(3−(3+4i)−443−(3+4i))v=0(−4i−44−4i)v=0 Solve for v: −4iv1+4v2=0⇒v2=iv1 Thus, one eigenvector is v1=(1i). For λ=3−4i, the eigenvector is v2=(1−i). The general solution is: (xy)=c1e(3+4i)t(1i)+c2e(3−4i)t(1−i) Express the solution in real form using Euler's formula: x(t)y(t)=e3t[c1cos(4t)+c2sin(4t)]=e3t[c1sin(4t)−c2cos(4t)] Therefore, the solution is: x(t)=e3t[c1cos(4t)+c2sin(4t)]y(t)=e3t[c1sin(4t)−c2cos(4t)]Solved on Solvelet with Basic AI Model

DefinitionIn algebra the literal part of a term means the part with the variable, not coefficient of it. It is just the variables and the powers of them. Example: x2y in 5x2y; x2y is the literal part
