Question

In Problems 1–7, convert the given initial value problem into an initial value problem for a system in normal form.

y4(t)-y3(t)+7y(t)=cost;y(0)=y'(0)=1,y''(0)=0,y3(0)=2

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

x'4(t)=x4-7x1+cost

1Step 1: express the equation in form of x

Here given

 y4(t)-y3(t)+7y(t)=cost

Denote,

x1(t)=y(t)x2(t)=y'(t)x3(t)=y''(t)x4(t)=y'''(t) 

The equation transforms as;

 x'1(t)=x2(t)x'2(t)=y''(t)=x3(t)x'3(t)=y'''(t)=x4(t)x'4(t)=y4(t)x'4(t)=x4-7x1+cost

2Step 2: the initial conditions

The given initial conditions are y(0)=y'(0)=1,y''(0)=0,y3(0)=2

 

Initial conditions after transformations;

 x1(0)=1x2(0)=1x3(0)=0x4(0)=2

This is the required result.
