I got that (0,0) is a saddle point and that the general solution is $x(t) =c_{1}e^{2t}[1,2]^T+ c_{2}e^{-t}[1,-1]^T$.

I just can't seem to get an expression of the form H(x,y)=c

MAT244--Misc / population dynamics

Will population dynamics be on the final exam? I understand the methods being used but do we need to memorize things like the logistic equation?

MAT244––Home Assignments / When to pick which component of the generalized eigenvector to be zero
« on: March 19, 2018, 11:03:28 AM »
In 7.8, the solutions often mention picking n1 = 0 or n2 = 0 or n3 = 0 for the generalized eigenvector. How do we decide which one to make zero? It seems that picking different ones yield different answers.

Quiz-6 / Re: Q6--T0901

Solving for eigenvalues:
\begin{gather*}
(4-r)(-6-r)+24 = 0\\
\implies - 24 - 4r + 6r + r^2 = 0\\
\implies r^2 + 2r = 0 \implies r(r+2) = 0
\end{gather*}
eigenvalues are $0$ and $-2$.

When $r = 0$,  Nullspace of $\begin{pmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ 8 & -6 \end{pmatrix}$ equals to  Nullspace of $\begin{pmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$, which is equal to the span of  $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}$.
When $r = -2$,  Nullspace of $\begin{pmatrix} 6 & -3 \\ 8 & -4 \end{pmatrix}$, which is equal to Nullspace of $\begin{pmatrix} 6 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$, which is a span of $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$.

Then
$$\mathbf{x} = c_1\begin{pmatrix}3\\4\end{pmatrix} + c_2e^{-2t}\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\end{pmatrix}$$

As $t$ goes to infinity, the solutions tend to $c_1\begin{pmatrix}3\\4\end{pmatrix}$. A sketch of the phase portrait:

Will the term test be cumulative?

Will the final exam be cumulative?

MAT244--Misc / Quiz is ahead of schedule

I believe today's quiz involved something that we haven't covered in class yet. Did anyone else have this issue?

Term Test 1 / Re: P4-Morning

Characteristic equation:
$r^2+8r+25=0$
r = $-4 +3i, -4-3i$ (using quadratic equation)

Homogeneous solution:
$y_c(t) = c_1e^{-4t}cos(3t) + c_2e^{-4t}sin(3t)$

Particular solutions:

First Particular:
$Y = Ae^{-4t}$
$Y' = -4Ae^{-4t}$
$Y'' = 16Ae^{-4t}$

$A(16+8(-4)+25)=9$
$9A=9$
$A=1$

Second Particular:

$Y = Asin(3t)+Bcos(3t)$
$Y' = 3Acos(3t)-3Bsin(3t)$
$Y'' = -9Asin(3t)-9Bcos(3t)$

Plug into the given equation:
sines:
$-9A+8(-3B)+25A = 104$
$16A-24B=104$
$2A-3B=13$

cosines:
$-9B+8(3A)+25B = 0$
$16B+24A=0$
$2B+3A=0$

==> $A=2, B=-3$

General solution:
$y(t) = c_1e^{-4t}cos(3t) + c_2e^{-4t}sin(3t) + e^{-4t} + 2sin(3t) -3cos(3t)$

$M_y = 8xy$
$N_x = 4xy$
$\implies$ The equation is not exact

$\frac{M_y-N_x}{N} = \frac{2}{x}$

$\frac{d\mu}{dx} = \frac{2}{x}\mu$

$\mu = x^2$

The integrating factor is $\mu = x^2$.

New equation: $4x^3y^2 + 3x^2 lnx + x^2 + 2x^4yy'=0$
$M_y = 8x^3y = N_x$ (The equation is exact)
$\phi_x = M$
$\phi = x^4y^2 + x^3\ln x + h(y)$
$\phi_y = 2x^4y + h'(y) = N$
$h'(y)=0$
$h(y)=C$

Thus, $\phi= x^4y^2 + x^3\ln x = C$

For particular solution passing (1,1):
$1^41^2 + 1^2\ln 1 = C$
$C=1$
Thus, $\phi= x^4y^2 + x^2\ln x = 1$

As promised, the typed up solution:

Characteristic Equation:
$r^2-5r+6=0$
$(r-2)(r-3) = 0$
Roots: 3 and 2

Homogeneous Equation: $y_{c}(t)=c_{1}e^{3t}+c_{2}e^{2t}$

Particular solutions:

First particular solution:

$4e^{t}$
$Y(t) = Ae^{t} = Y'(t) = Y''(t)$

$Ae^{t} - 5Ae^{t} + 6Ae^{t} = 4e^{t}$
$A - 5A + 6A = 4$
$A = 2$

Second particular solution:

$e^{2t}$
$Y(t) = Ate^{2t}$
$Y'(t) = Ae^{2t} + 2Ate^{2t}$
$Y''(t) = 2Ae^{2t} + 2Ae^{2t} + 4Ate^{2t} = 4Ae^{2t} + 4Ate^{2t}$

$4Ae^{2t} + 4Ate^{2t} - 5(Ae^{2t} + 2Ate^{2t}) + 6Ate^{2t} = e^{2t}$
$-Ae^{2t} = e^{2t}$
$A = -1$

General Solution:
$y(t)=c_{1}e^{3t} + c_{2}e^{2t} + 2e^{t} -te^{2t}$

Solving for a solution satisfying $y(0)=0, y'(0) = 0$
$y(0) = c_{1}+c_2 + 2 =0$
$y'(0) = 3c_1 + 2c_2 + 1 = 0$
$c_1 = 2, c_2 = -3$

Thus, $y(t)=2e^{3t} -3e^{2t} + 2e^{t} -te^{2t}$

MAT244--Misc / Past midterm coverage too much?
« on: February 11, 2018, 06:28:31 PM »
Is it just me or does the 2014 past midterm cover a lot of things we haven't done yet? I was only able to do question 1.
