Consider the system of differential equations (\frac{dx}{dt} = 2x - y, \ \frac{dy}{dt} = x + 2y). Find the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix.

  1. (\lambda_1 = 1, \lambda_2 = 3)

  2. (\lambda_1 = 2, \lambda_2 = 4)

  3. (\lambda_1 = -1, \lambda_2 = -3)

  4. (\lambda_1 = 0, \lambda_2 = 2)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The eigenvalues are found by solving the characteristic equation (\det(A - \lambda I) = 0), where (A) is the coefficient matrix. Solving this equation gives ((\lambda - 1)(\lambda - 3) = 0), which has eigenvalues (\lambda_1 = 1) and (\lambda_2 = 3).

Given the system of differential equations (\frac{dx}{dt} = 3x - 2y, \ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2x + 3y), find the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues (\lambda_1 = 1) and (\lambda_2 = 4).

  1. For (\lambda_1 = 1): ((1, 1)), For (\lambda_2 = 4): ((2, -1))

  2. For (\lambda_1 = 1): ((1, -1)), For (\lambda_2 = 4): ((2, 1))

  3. For (\lambda_1 = 1): ((2, 1)), For (\lambda_2 = 4): ((1, 1))

  4. For (\lambda_1 = 1): ((2, -1)), For (\lambda_2 = 4): ((1, -1))

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To find the eigenvectors, we solve the system of equations ((A - \lambda I) \vec{v} = \vec{0}) for each eigenvalue. For (\lambda_1 = 1), we have ((2, -2) \vec{v} = \vec{0}), which gives the eigenvector ((1, 1)). For (\lambda_2 = 4), we have ((1, -2) \vec{v} = \vec{0}), which gives the eigenvector ((2, -1)).

Consider the system of differential equations (\frac{dx}{dt} = -x + 2y, \ \frac{dy}{dt} = -2x - y). Determine the stability of the equilibrium point at the origin.

  1. Stable

  2. Unstable

  3. Center

  4. Semi-stable

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To determine the stability, we find the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix. The eigenvalues are (\lambda_1 = -1 + i\sqrt{3}) and (\lambda_2 = -1 - i\sqrt{3}). Since both eigenvalues have negative real parts, the equilibrium point at the origin is stable.

Given the system of differential equations (\frac{dx}{dt} = x - y, \ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2x + y), find the general solution using the matrix exponential method.

  1. (\vec{x}(t) = e^{\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} t} \vec{x}(0))

  2. (\vec{x}(t) = e^{\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \ -2 & -1 \end{bmatrix} t} \vec{x}(0))

  3. (\vec{x}(t) = e^{\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} t} \vec{x}(0))

  4. (\vec{x}(t) = e^{\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix} t} \vec{x}(0))

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using the matrix exponential method, the general solution is given by (\vec{x}(t) = e^{At} \vec{x}(0)), where (A) is the coefficient matrix. In this case, (A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}). Finding the matrix exponential (e^{At}) gives the general solution.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
