Exercise 2

Avg difficulty 2.5

Verify whether or not the given pair of functions, (x(t),y(t))(x(t), y(t)) form a solution to the system dxdt=4x−3ydydt=3x+4y\begin{aligned} \frac{dx}{dt} & = 4x -3y \\ \frac{dy}{dt} & = 3x + 4y \end{aligned}

  1. x(t)=2e4tcos⁡3tx(t) = 2e^{4t}\cos 3t, y(t)=2e4tsin⁡3ty(t) = 2e^{4t}\sin 3t

  2. x(t)=2e4tcos⁡3t−3e4tsin⁡3tx(t) = 2e^{4t}\cos 3t - 3e^{4t}\sin 3t, y(t)=2e4tsin⁡3t+3e4tcos⁡3ty(t) = 2e^{4t}\sin 3t + 3e^{4t}\cos 3t

  3. x(t)=3e4tcos⁡3t−4e4tsin⁡3tx(t) = 3e^{4t}\cos 3t - 4e^{4t}\sin 3t, y(t)=3e4tsin⁡3t+5e4tcos⁡3ty(t) = 3e^{4t}\sin 3t + 5e^{4t}\cos 3t

  4. x(t)=c1e4tcos⁡3t−c2e4tsin⁡3tx(t) =c_1e^{4t}\cos 3t - c_2e^{4t}\sin 3t, y(t)=c1e4tsin⁡3t+c2e4tcos⁡3ty(t) = c_1e^{4t}\sin 3t + c_2e^{4t}\cos 3t
