Question

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

Answer

x'1(t)=x2(t)x'2(t)=-5x1(t)+2x3(t)3x'3(t)=x4(t)x'4(t)=6x1(t)-2x3(t)4x1(0)=-1,x2(0)=0,x3(0)=1,x4(0)=2


1Step 1: express the equation in form of x

Here given 3x''+5x-2y=0 and 4y''+2y-6x=0

 

Rewrite the equations  x''=-5x+2y3 and y''=-2y+6x4

 Denote,

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


 The equation transforms as;

 x'1(t)=x2(t)x'2(t)=-5x1(t)+2x3(t)3x'3(t)=x4(t)x'4(t)=6x1(t)-2x3(t)4


 

2Step 2: the initial conditions

The given initial conditions are x(0)=-1,x'(0)=0 and y(0)=1,y'(0)=2

 

Initial conditions after transformations x1(0)=-1,x2(0)=0,x3(0)=1,x4(0)=2

This is the required result.
