Short Answer

Solve the system dxdt=[-11-21]x with x(0)=[01]. Give the solution in real form. Sketch the solution.

The solution of the system isx(t)=[sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)] and the graph is

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Find the Eigen values of the matrix. 

Consider the equationdxdt=[1121]x with the initial valuex(0)=[01] .

Compare the equationsdxdt=[1121]x and dxdt=Axas follows.

A=[1121]

Assume λis an Eigen value of the matrix[1121] implies |AλI|=0.

Substitute the values[1121] for Aand [1001]forI in the equation |AλI|=0as follows.

|AλI|=0|[1121]λ[1001]|=0

Simplify the equation|[1121]λ[1001]|=0 as follows.

|[1121]λ[1001]|=0|[1121][λ00λ]|=0|[1λ121λ]|=0(1λ)(1λ)+2=0

Further, simplify the equation as follows.

(1λ)(1λ)+2=01+λ2+2=0λ2+1=0λ2=1

Therefore, the Eigen values of Aareλ=±i .

Step 2: Determine the Eigen vector corresponding to the Eigen value λ=i.

Substitute the valuesi forλ in the equation |[1λ121λ]|=0as follows.

|[1λ121λ]|=0|[1i121i]|=0

As Ei=ker[1i121i]=span[11+i], the values v+iwis defined as follows.

v+iw=[11]+i[01]

Therefore, the value ofS isS=[0111] .

Step 3: Determine the solution for dx→dt=[-11-21]x→.

The inverse of the matrix S=[0111]is defined as follows.

S1=[1110]

As x(t)=eptS[cos(qt)sin(qt)sin(qt)cos(qt)]S1x0, Substitute the value[0111] for S, [1110]for ,S1 [01]for ,x0

0 forp and1 for qin the equation x(t)=eptS[cos(qt)sin(qt)sin(qt)cos(qt)]S1x0as follows.

x(t)=eptS[cos(qt)sin(qt)sin(qt)cos(qt)]S1x0x(t)=e(0)t[0111][cos(1t)sin(1t)sin(1t)cos(1t)][1110][01]x(t)=[0111][cos(t)sin(t)sin(t)cos(t)][10]x(t)=[sin(t)cos(t)cos(t)+sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)][10]

Further, simplify the equation as follows.

x(t)=[sin(t)cos(t)cos(t)+sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)][10]x(t)=[sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)]

Therefore, the solution of the system isx(t)=[sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)] .

Step 4: Sketch the solution. 

Asλ1,2=±i , draw the graph of the solution x(t)=[sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)]as follows

Hence, the solution of the system dxdt=[1121]xwith the initial valuex(0)=[01] is x(t)=[sin(t)sin(t)+cos(t)]and the graph of the solution is an ellipse in counterclockwise direction.
