Initial value problem : Differential equations:
dx/dt = x + 2y
dy/dt = 2x + y
Initial conditions:
x(0) = 0
y(0) = 2
a) Find the solution to this initial value problem
(yes, I know, the text says that the solutions are
x(t)= e^3t - e^-t and y(x) = e^3t + e^-t
and but I want you to derive these solutions yourself using one
of the methods we studied in chapter 4) Work this part out on paper
to...
d^2y/dx^2 − dy/dx − 3/4 y = 0,
y(0) = 1, dy/dx(0) = 0,
Convert the initial value problem into a set of two coupled
first-order initial value problems
and find the exact solution to the differential equatiion
