Step by step solution

01

General form

Elimination Procedure for 2 × 2 Systems:

To find a general solution for the system;

L1x+L2y=f1,L3x+L4y=f2,

WhereL1,L2,L3,andL4 are polynomials in D=ddt:

  1. Make sure that the system is written in operator form.
  1. Eliminate one of the variables, say, y, and solve the resulting equation for x(t). If the system is degenerating, stop! A separate analysis is required to determine whether or not there are solutions.
  1. (Shortcut) If possible, use the system to derive an equation that involves y(t) but not its derivatives. [Otherwise, go to step (d).] Substitute the found expression for x(t) into this equation to get a formula for y(t). The expressions for x(t), and y(t) give the desired general solution.
  1. Eliminate x from the system and solve for y(t). [Solving for y(t) gives more constants----in fact, twice as many as needed.]
  1. Remove the extra constants by substituting the expressions for x(t) and y(t) into one or both of the equations in the system. Write the expressions for x(t) and y(t) in terms of the remaining constants.
02

Evaluate the given equation

Given that,

dxdt=4x+y …… (1)

dydt=-2x+y …… (2)

Let us rewrite this system of operators in operator form:

D-4x-y=0 …… (3)

2x+D-1y=0…… (4)

Multiply (D-1) on equation (3) and add with equation (4).

D-1D-4x-D-1y+2x+D-1y=0D2-5D+4x+2x=0D2-5D+6x=0

Since the corresponding auxiliary equation is r2-5r+6=0. The roots are r=2 and r=3.

Then, the general solution is xt=c1e2t+c2e3t …… (5)

03

Substitution method

Substitute the equation (5) in equation (3).

D-4x-y=0-y=-D-4xy=D-4c1e2t+c2e3ty=ddtc1e2t+c2e3t-4c1e2t-4c2e3tyt=2c1e2t+3c2e3t-4c1e2t-4c2e3tyt=-2c1e2t-c2e3tyt=-2c1e2t-c2e3t6

04

Find the initial value problem

Given:x0=1,y0=0

Now substitute the values in equations (5) and (6).

xt=c1e2t+c2e3tx0=c1e20+c2e30

c1+c2=1 …… (7)

yt=-2c1e2t-c2e3ty0=-2c1e20-c2e30

-2c1-c2=0 …… (8)

Solve the equations (7) and (8).

c1+c2-2c1-c2=1+0-c1=1c1=-1

Then,

c1+c2=1-1+c2=1c2=2

Now substitute the values of c in equations (5) and (6).

xt=-e2t+2e3t

yt=2e2t-2e3t

Thus, the required solution is:

xt=-e2t+2e3t

yt=2e2t-2e3t

In Problems 25 – 28, use the elimination method to find a general solution for the given system of three equations in the three unknown functions x(t), y(t), z(t).

x'=3x+y-z,y'=x+2y-z,z'=3x+3y-z

In Problems 3–6, find the critical point set for the given system.

dxdt=x-y,dydt=x2+y2-1

Radioisotopes and Cancer Detection. A radioisotope commonly used in the detection of breast cancer is technetium-99m. This radionuclide is attached to a chemical that upon injection into a patient accumulates at cancer sites. The isotope’s radiation is then detected and the site is located, using gamma cameras or other tomographic devices.

Technetium-99m decays radioactively in accordance with the equation\(\frac{{{\bf{dy}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}{\bf{ = - ky}}\) with k= 0.1155>h. The short half-life of technetium-99m has the advantage that its radioactivity does not endanger the patient. A disadvantage is that the isotope must be manufactured in a cyclotron. Since hospitals are not equipped with cyclotrons, doses of technetium-99m have to be ordered in advance from medical suppliers.

Suppose a dosage of 5 millicuries (mCi) of technetium- 99m is to be administered to a patient. Estimate the delivery time from production at the manufacturer to arrival at the hospital treatment room to be 24 hours and calculate the amount of the radionuclide that the hospital must order, to be able to administer the proper

dosage.
