Find a general solution of the system.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Care to write the system? .. o.o

OpenStudy (austinl):

\(X'(t)=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &-1 \\ 0 &2 &0 \\ 1 &0 &1 \end{bmatrix}X(t)+\begin{bmatrix} -1\\ -1-e^{-t}\\ -2e^{-t}\\ \end{bmatrix}\) Sorry, kinda Latex intensive to write.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Oh, well..matrices are something i'm not good at, sorry.

OpenStudy (loser66):

I can do it for you, but I need your help, exchange, deal?

OpenStudy (austinl):

Sure, I can sure try and help you.

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am kicked out of the net, sorry, now I work on it.

OpenStudy (loser66):

want to do with me ?

OpenStudy (austinl):

Well, I can... but I am working on like 3 problems at once right now actually lol.

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, I work and will post after finish. you come here to help me. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52a100cae4b0d45cde225005 Ok

OpenStudy (austinl):

are you going to show work as well?

OpenStudy (loser66):

I'll try all my best.

OpenStudy (loser66):

take a look at this first, if you don't get something, ask me then. Still have partial part

OpenStudy (loser66):

OpenStudy (loser66):

sorry, cost , not cos x/

OpenStudy (austinl):

Your roots are wrong, I think you should get 2,2,1 for the r's though.

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, let me check, I did on calculator

OpenStudy (austinl):

I think it will end up being (r-2)(r^2-3r+2) for the determinant.

OpenStudy (loser66):

I don't know how can you get that equation, I can say: mine is 100% correct. I double check

OpenStudy (loser66):

the characteristic equation is r^3 -4r^2+6r-4 while yours is r^3 -5r^2 +8r -4 why we don't meet to each other?

OpenStudy (austinl):

\(\begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &-1 \\ 0 &2 &0 \\ 1 &0 &1 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} r &0 &0 \\ 0 &r &0 \\ 0 &0 &r \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1-r &0 &-1 \\ 0 &2-r &0 \\ 1 &0 &1-r \end{bmatrix}\) From that, \(determinant\rightarrow (1-r)\begin{bmatrix} 2-r&0\\ 0&1-r \end{bmatrix}-0+(-1)\begin{bmatrix} 0&2-r\\ 1&0 \end{bmatrix}\) Which then simplifies down to, \((r-2)(r^2-3r+2)\) Which factors to, \((r-2)(r-2)(r-1)\) This is what I have.

OpenStudy (loser66):

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, mine is ok,

OpenStudy (austinl):

should be -3r in the middle :)

OpenStudy (loser66):

hello, we have to meet to each other before we step up. right? My way in finding characteristic equation is not use determinant but it is always correct.

OpenStudy (loser66):

(1-r)^2 = 1^2 -2r +r^2 , where do you have 3r?

OpenStudy (loser66):

have to go to eat something, you work , I'll be back

OpenStudy (austinl):

I will just go with your way...

OpenStudy (loser66):

hello, are you there? meet me or else? any conflict?

OpenStudy (austinl):

I am fairly confident you have the wrong r values, but I should at least get partial credit.

OpenStudy (loser66):

no, we Must meet to each other, if not, the leftover cannot be correct since it base on this part. I never use determinant method to construct characteristic equation for 3 x 3 matrix, because it's easy to make mistake while my way is rarely

OpenStudy (austinl):

could you rework it with r values of r=2,2,1 ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

@austinL I confirm. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52a1274ce4b0a13bbbe89c51 if you agree with me, we can step up. if not, I give up
