Short Answer

Ngozi opens a bank account with an initial balance of 1,000 Nigerian naira. Let b(t) be the balance in the account at time t; we are told that b(0) = 1,000. The bank is paying interest at a continuous rate of 5% per year. Ngozi makes deposits into the account at a continuous rate of s(t) (measured in naira per year). We are told that s(0) = 1,000 and that s(t) is increasing at a continuous rate of 7% per year. (Ngozi can save more as her income goes up over time.)

(a) set up a linear system of the form |dbdt=?b+?sdsdt=?b+?s|

(b) Find b(t)and s(t).

(a) The solution is |dbdt=0.05b+1sdsdt=0b+0.07s|

(b) The solutionb(t)=-49000e0.05t+50000c2e0.07t,  s(t)=1000e0.07t

Step by Step Solution

Step1: Explanation of the solution

Letb(t) is the balance in the account at time t and b(0)=1000.

The bank is paying interest at a continuous rate of 5% per year.

Ngozi makes deposits in to the account at a continuous rate ofs(t) .

And s(t)is increasing at a continuous rate of 7% per year also that s(0)=1000.

The setup of a linear system as follows.

|dbdt=?b+?sdsdt=?b+?s|

Since, the bank is already paying interest at a continuous rate of 5% per year and Ngozi makes deposits into the account at a continuous rate ofs(t) per year.

The first equation can written as follows.

|dbdt=0.05b+1sdsdt=?b+?s|

Since, s(t) is increasing at a continuous rate of7% per year.

Therefore, the equation can be written as follows.

|dbdt=0.05b+1sdsdt=0b+0.07s|

Hence, the setup of the linear system is |dbdt=0.05b+1sdsdt=0b+0.07s|

Step 2: Explanation of the solution 

Consider the linear system of equation as follows.

|dbdt=0.05b+1sdsdt=0b+0.07s|

Rewrite the system in the form of dxdt=Ax as follows.

[dbdtdsdt]=[0.05100.07][bs]

Since the coefficient matrix A=[0.05100.07] is a diagonal matrix, the eigenvalues are the diagonal entries.

The eigenvalues are as follows.

λ1=0.05λ2=0.07

Now, find the corresponding eigenvectors for eigenvalueλ1=0.05 as follows.

(A-λI)=0[0.05-(0.05)100.07-(0.05)][u1u2]=[000][0100.02][u1u2]=[000][0u1+1u20u1+0.02u2]=[00]

The corresponding equations are as follows.

0u1+1u2=00u1+0.2u2=0

Solving the equations as follows.

0u1+1u2=0u2=-0u1u2=0

Therefore, the eigenvectors as follows.

u=[u1u2]=[u10]u=u1[10]

Similarly, find the corresponding eigenvectors for eigenvalue λ1=0.07as follows.

(A-λI)=0[0.05-(0.07)100.07-(0.07)][v1v2]=[00][0.02100][v1v2]=[00][0.02v1+1v20v1+0v2]=[00]

The corresponding equations are as follows.

0.02v1+1v2=00v1+0v2=0

Solving the equations as follows.

0.02v1+1v2=00.02v1=-v2v1=-1v20.02v1=50v2

Therefore, the eigenvectors as follows.

v=[v1v2]=[50v2v2]v=v2[501]

Thus, the eigenvectors are as follows.

[10] and   [501]

The general solution to the system can be written as follows.

[b(t)s(t)]=c1eλ1tu+c2eλ2tv=c1e0.05t[10]+c2e0.07t[501]=[c1e0.05t0]+[50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t][b(t)s(t)]=[c1e0.05t+50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t]

Now substitute the value 0 for in[b(t)s(t)]=[c1e0.05t+50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t] as follows.

[b(t)s(t)]=[c1e0.05t+50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t][b(0)s(0)]=[c1e0.05(0)+50c2e0.07(0)c2e0.07(0)][10001000]=[c1+50c2c2]

Now, equating the corresponding entries of the matrix on sides of the equation as follows.

c1+50c2=1000c2=1000

Substitute the value 1000 forc2 in c1+50c2=1000as follows.

c1+50c2=1000c1+50(1000)=1000c1+50000=1000c1=1000-50000

Simplify further as follows.

c1=49,000

Substitute the value49,000 forc1 and1000 forc2 in[b(t)s(t)]=[c1e0.05t+50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t] as follows.

[b(t)s(t)]=[c1e0.05t+50c2e0.07tc2e0.07t][b(t)s(t)]=[-49000e0.05t+50(1000)c2e0.07t1000e0.07t][b(t)s(t)]=[-49000e0.05t+50000c2e0.07t1000e0.07t]

Equating the corresponding entries on both sides of the equation as follows.

b(t)=-49000e0.05t+50000c2e0.07ts(t)=1000e0.07t

Thus, the equations are b(t)=-49000e0.05t+50000c2e0.07t,  s(t)=1000e0.07t.
