Alright, my last hurdle to tackle (Systems of Linear Differential Equations), first problem in the section. Posted below momentarily.
\[\frac{dx}{dt}=-x+y\]
\[\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\]
@Kainui , any way you could help me on this? This is my first time dealing with a system of linear diff eqns in any sense. Should I integrate with respect to one or the other, or divide and substitute in? I'm not really sure.
ok came back for this last one :)
start with diffrentiating the first equation
\[\frac{ dx }{ dt }=-x+y\\ \frac{ d^2x }{ dt^2 }=-1+\frac{ dy }{ dt }=2x-1\] getting this?
back, sorry, was dealing with somebody IRL
I took a different approach, I took the laplace of both sides of all of them and then substituted in for one and took the inverse laplace and stuff
But yeah, that makes sense. Goodnight!
Alright, taking the Laplace of both sides: \[sX(s)-x(0)=-X(s)+Y(s);\]\[sY(s)-y(0)=2X(s)\]
(Got distracted by stuff, attempting to solve now)
From (2), \[Y(s)=\frac{2X(s)+y(0)}{s}\]
Substituting into the first equation, \[sX(s)-x(0)=-X(s)+\frac{2X(s)+y(0)}{s}\]
Isolating the X(s) term to one side, \[sX(s)+X(s)-\frac{2X(s)}{s}=\frac{y(0)}{s}+x(0)\]
Now Isolating X(s) entirely,
\[X(s)\bigg[s+1-\frac{2}{s}\bigg]=\frac{y(0)}{s}+x(0)\]
Forgot the initial conditions, posting below momentarily
x(0)=0, y(0)=1
\[\frac{1}{s\bigg[s+1-\frac{2}{s}\bigg]}\]
Gonna be a mistake somewhere in there, lol, either way, this doesn't look pretty. Does this look right so far/do you have any suggestions about how to proceed or how I should've proceeded?
OH
\[\frac{1}{s^2+s-2}\]
\[\frac{1}{(s+2)(s-1)}\]
Alright, know how to move from here.
