Consider the system of differential equations dx/dt=−2y dy/dt=−2x. . Convert this system to a second order differential equation in yy by differentiating the second equation with respect to tt and substituting for xx from the first equation. Solve the equation you obtained for y as a function of t; hence find x as a function of t. If we also require x(0)=4 y(0)=3, what are x and y?x(t)= y(t)=

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the following differential equations

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=-2y\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-2x\\[/tex]

by differentiating the second equation we have

[tex]\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dy}{dt})=-2\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}=-2\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}[/tex]

and we replace dx/dt in the first equation

[tex]\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}=-2y\\\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}-4y=0[/tex]

and by using the characteristic polynomial

[tex]m^{2}+4=0\\m=\±2i[/tex]

the solution is

[tex]y(t)=Acos(2t)+Bsin(2t)[/tex]

and to compute x(t) we have

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=-2Acos(2t)-2Bsin(2t)\\\\\int dx = \int[-2Acos(2t)-2Bsin(2t)]dt\\\\x(t)=-Asin(2t)+Bcos(2t)[/tex]

and if we use x(0)=4 and y(0)=3, we can calculate the constants A and B

[tex]x(0)=B=4\\y(0)=A=3[/tex]

I hope this is useful for you
