Expert-verifiedIn Problems 3 – 18, use the elimination method to find a general solution for the given linear system, where differentiation is with respect to t.
The solutions for the given linear system are and
Elimination Procedure for 2 × 2 Systems.
To find a general solution for the system
Where and are polynomials in
Given that,
Let us rewrite this system of operators in operator form:
Multiply (D+1) on equation (3).
And multiply (D-1) on equation (2).
Then subtract equation (5) and (6) together one gets,
Now solve equation (7).
Substitute the value of x in equation (3)
Since the auxiliary equation to the corresponding homogeneous equation is .
The root is r=1.
Then, the homogeneous solution of u is
Let us take the undetermined coefficients and assume that
Now derivate the equation (7)
Subtract the equations (11) and (10).
Now, equalize the like terms of equation (8).
Solve the equations to find the value of A and B.
Then,
So,
Use equations (9) and (12) to get,
So, the solution is founded.
