Problem 1. Solve the IVP
(
x (t) = x 5y
for x(0) = 1, y(0) = 1
y (t) = x 3y
Solution: Let
x 1 5
X= and A =
y 1 3
then the characteristic polynomial of the matrix system X = AX is
1 5
det(A I) = det = 2 + 2 + 2 = ( + 1)2 + 1,
1 3
Let
2 cos t sin t cos t + 2 sin t
u(t) = et and v(t) = et
cos t sin t
then the general solution of the given system is
2 cos t sin t cos t + 2 sin t
X(t) = c1 u(t) + c2 v(t) = c1 et + c2 et
cos t sin t

Problem 2. Find the general solution of the system
t
x 1 3 x e
= + t
y 3 1 y 3e
1
Setting v1 = 1 and v2 = 3 gives v = , so one of the two linearly independent solutions can
3
be written as
2t 1
X1 (t) = e
3
For the eigenvector corresponding to = 2, consider
v 1 3 v1 0
(A I) 1 = = v1 + 3v2 = 0
v2 3 3 v2 0
3
Setting v1 = 3 and v2 = 1 gives v = , so the second linearly independent solution is
1

X2 (t) = e2t
