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,

d2xdt2=y…… (1)

d2ydt2=x…… (2)

Let us rewrite this system of operators in operator form:

D2x-y=0 …… (3)

-x+D2y=0…… (4)

Multiply D2 on equation (3) and add with equation (4).

D4x-D2y+-x+D2y=0D4-1x=0

Since the corresponding auxiliary equation is r4-1=0. The roots arer=-1,r=1,r=-i

and r=i.

Then, the general solution is xt=c1e-t+c2et+c3cost+c4sint …… (5)

03

Substitution method

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

D2x-y=0-y=-D2xy=D2xy=d2dt2c1e-t+c2et+c3cost+c4sinty=c1e-t+c2et-c3cost-c4sintyt=c1e-t+c2et-c3cost-c4sint6

04

Find the initial value problem

Given,x0=3,x'0=1,y0=1,and y'0=-1.

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

xt=c1e-t+c2et+c3cost+c4sintx0=c1e-0+c2e0+c3cos0+c4sin03=c1+c2+c3c1+c2+c3=37

x't=-c1e-t+c2et-c3sint+c4costx'0=-c1e-0+c2e0-c3sin0+c4cos01=-c1+c2+c4-c1+c2+c4=18

yt=c1e-t+c2et-c3cost-c4sinty0=c1e-0+c2e0-c3cos0-c4sin01=c1+c2-c3c1+c2-c3=19

y't=-c1e-t+c2et+c3sint-c4costy'0=-c1e-0+c2e0+c3sin0-c4cos0-1=-c1+c2-c4-c1+c2-c4=-110

First, solve the equations (7) and (9). Then, equations (8) and (10).

c1+c2+c3+c1+c2-c3=3+12c1+2c2=411

-c1+c2+c4-c1+c2-c4=1-1-2c1+2c2=012

Then,

Case (1):

4c2=4c2=1

Case (2):

2c1+2=42c1=2c1=1

Case (3):

1+1+c3=32+c3=3c3=1

Case (4):

-1+1+c4=1c4=1

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

xt=e-t+et+cost+sint

yt=e-t+et-cost-sint

So, the solution is founded.
