Let's solve the system step by step: Given: \[ \frac{d}{dt} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -11 \\ 6 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \] with initial condition \((x(0), y(0)) = (1, 1)\). --- ### **Step 1: Write the System Explicitly** \[ \begin{cases} \frac{dx}{dt} = -x - 11y \\ \frac{dy}{dt} = 6x \end{cases} \] --- ### **Step 2: Find Eigenvalues** Let \(A = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -11 \\ 6 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\). The characteristic equation is: \[ \det(A - \lambda I) = 0 \] \[ \begin{vmatrix} -1 - \lambda & -11 \\ 6 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] \[ (-1 - \lambda)(-\lambda) - (6)(-11) = 0 \] \[ \lambda(\lambda + 1) - (-66) = 0 \] \[ \lambda^2 + \lambda + 66 = 0 \] --- ### **Step 3: Solve for Eigenvalues** \[ \lambda = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4 \cdot 66}}{2} \] \[ = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 264}}{2} \] \[ = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-263}}{2} \] \[ = \frac{-1}{2} \pm \frac{i \sqrt{263}}{2} \] --- ### **Step 4: General Solution Form** For complex eigenvalues, the general solution is: \[ \mathbf{x}(t) = e^{\alpha t} (C_1 \mathbf{Re}(\mathbf{v} e^{i\beta t}) + C_2 \mathbf{Im}(\mathbf{v} e^{i\beta t})) \] Here, \(\alpha = -1/2\), \(\beta = \sqrt{263}/2\). --- ### **Step 5: Find an Eigenvector** Pick one eigenvalue, say \(\lambda = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2}\). Solve \((A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} = 0\): \[ \begin{pmatrix} -1 - \lambda & -11 \\ 6 & -\lambda \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} v_1 \\ v_2 \end{pmatrix} = 0 \] Plug in \(\lambda = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2}\): - \( -1 - \lambda = -1 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2} \) - \( -\lambda = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2} \) So, \[ \begin{pmatrix} -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2} & -11 \\ 6 & \frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} v_1 \\ v_2 \end{pmatrix} = 0 \] From the first row: \[ \left(-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2}\right) v_1 - 11 v_2 = 0 \implies v_1 = \frac{11}{-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2}} v_2 \] Set \(v_2 = 1\): \[ v_1 = \frac{11}{-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{i\sqrt{263}}{2}} = \frac{11 \cdot -2}{1 + i\sqrt{263}} = \frac{-22}{1 + i\sqrt{263}} \] Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate: \[ \frac{-22}{1 + i\sqrt{263}} \cdot \frac{1 - i\sqrt{263}}{1 - i\sqrt{263}} = \frac{-22(1 - i\sqrt{263})}{1 + 263} = \frac{-22(1 - i\sqrt{263})}{264} = -\frac{11}{132} + i\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132} \] So, the eigenvector is: \[ \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -\frac{11}{132} + i\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132} \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \] --- ### **Step 6: Write the Real Solution** The general real solution is: \[ \begin{pmatrix} x(t) \\ y(t) \end{pmatrix} = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ C_1 \mathbf{Re}\left(\mathbf{v} e^{i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t}\right) + C_2 \mathbf{Im}\left(\mathbf{v} e^{i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t}\right) \right] \] Let’s write the explicit real-valued solution: Let \[ A = -\frac{11}{132}, \quad B = \frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132} \] So, \[ x(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \Big[ C_1 \left( A \cos(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) - B \sin(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) \right) + C_2 \left( A \sin(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) + B \cos(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) \right) \Big] \] \[ y(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ C_1 \cos(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) + C_2 \sin(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t) \right] \] --- ### **Step 7: Apply Initial Condition** At \(t = 0\), \(x(0) = 1\), \(y(0) = 1\): \[ x(0) = C_1 A + C_2 B = 1 \] \[ y(0) = C_1 = 1 \] So \(C_1 = 1\): \[ x(0):\quad 1 = A \cdot 1 + B \cdot C_2 \implies C_2 = \frac{1 - A}{B} \] Plug in \(A = -\frac{11}{132}\), \(B = \frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132}\): \[ C_2 = \frac{1 - \left(-\frac{11}{132}\right)}{\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132}} = \frac{1 + \frac{11}{132}}{\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132}} = \frac{\frac{132}{132} + \frac{11}{132}}{\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132}} = \frac{\frac{143}{132}}{\frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132}} = \frac{143}{11\sqrt{263}} \] --- ### **Step 8: Final Solution** \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} x(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \left(-\frac{11}{132}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right) - \frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132} \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right) \right. \\ &\hspace{2cm} \left. + \frac{143}{11\sqrt{263}} \left(-\frac{11}{132} \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right) + \frac{11\sqrt{263}}{132} \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right)\right) \right] \\ y(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right) + \frac{143}{11\sqrt{263}} \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t\right) \right] \end{aligned} } \] This is the explicit solution for the initial value problem. --- **Summary of steps:** 1. Write the system. 2. Find eigenvalues (complex). 3. Find eigenvector. 4. Write complex general solution, convert to real form. 5. Apply initial conditions to solve for constants. 6.

Certainly! Let's go through each step with detailed calculations to solve the given system: --- ### **Given System:** \[ \frac{d}{dt} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = A \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \quad \text{where} \quad A = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -11 \\ 6 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \] with initial condition: \[ x(0) = 1,\quad y(0) = 1 \] --- ### **Step 1: Write the system explicitly** \[ \begin{cases} \frac{dx}{dt} = -x - 11 y \\ \frac{dy}{dt} = 6 x \end{cases} \] --- ### **Step 2: Find Eigenvalues** **Characteristic equation:** \[ \det(A - \lambda I) = 0 \] \[ \det \begin{bmatrix} -1 - \lambda & -11 \\ 6 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix} = 0 \] Compute determinant: \[ (-1 - \lambda)(-\lambda) - (-11)(6) = 0 \] \[ \lambda(1 + \lambda) + 66 = 0 \] \[ \lambda^2 + \lambda + 66 = 0 \] --- ### **Step 3: Solve for eigenvalues** Quadratic: \[ \lambda^2 + \lambda + 66 = 0 \] Discriminant: \[ D = 1^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 66 = 1 - 264 = -263 \] Since \(D < 0\), eigenvalues are complex conjugates: \[ \lambda = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-263}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm i \sqrt{263}}{2} \] **Eigenvalues:** \[ \boxed{ \lambda_{1,2} = -\frac{1}{2} \pm i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} } \] --- ### **Step 4: Find eigenvectors** Choose \(\lambda = -\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\) Solve: \[ (A - \lambda I) \mathbf{v} = 0 \] \[ A - \lambda I = \begin{bmatrix} -1 - \lambda & -11 \\ 6 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix} \] Calculate each element: - \(-1 - \lambda = -1 - \left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right) = -1 + \frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\) - \(-\lambda = -\left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\) Substitute: \[ A - \lambda I = \begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} & -11 \\ 6 & \frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} \end{bmatrix} \] Set up the eigenvector \(\mathbf{v} = \begin{bmatrix} v_1 \\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}\): From the first row: \[ \left(-\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right) v_1 - 11 v_2 = 0 \] Solve for \(v_1\): \[ v_1 = \frac{11 v_2}{-\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}} \] Set \(v_2 = 1\): \[ v_1 = \frac{11}{-\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}} \] Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \text{Conjugate} = -\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} \] So, \[ v_1 = \frac{11 \times \left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right)}{\left(-\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right)} \] Compute denominator: \[ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{263}{4} = \frac{264}{4} = 66 \] Numerator: \[ 11 \times \left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\right) = -\frac{11}{2} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{2} \] Hence, \[ v_1 = \frac{-\frac{11}{2} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{2}}{66} \] Divide numerator by 66: \[ v_1 = -\frac{11/2}{66} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}/2}{66} = -\frac{11}{2 \times 66} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{2 \times 66} \] Simplify: \[ v_1 = -\frac{11}{132} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{132} \] --- ### **Step 5: Write the general solution** The complex eigenvalues lead to a real solution of the form: \[ \mathbf{x}(t) = e^{\alpha t} \left[ C_1 \mathbf{Re}(\mathbf{v} e^{i \beta t}) + C_2 \mathbf{Im}(\mathbf{v} e^{i \beta t}) \right] \] where: - \(\alpha = -\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\beta = \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2}\) - \(\mathbf{v} = \begin{bmatrix} A + i B \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}\), with \[ A = -\frac{11}{132}, \quad B = \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{132} \] --- ### **Step 6: Express the real solution** \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} x(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ K_1 \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) + K_2 \sin \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right] \\ y(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ M_1 \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) + M_2 \sin \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right] \end{aligned} } \] where \(K_1, K_2, M_1, M_2\) are constants determined by initial conditions. --- ### **Step 7: Find constants using initial conditions** At \(t=0\): \[ x(0) = 1, \quad y(0) = 1 \] Plug into the general form: \[ x(0) = K_1 \times 1 + K_2 \times 0 = K_1 = 1 \] \[ y(0) = M_1 \times 1 + M_2 \times 0 = M_1 = 1 \] Now, relate \(K_1, K_2, M_1, M_2\) to the eigenvector components: From the eigenvector calculations, the real solution can be explicitly written as: \[ \begin{cases} x(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \text{Re} \left( v_1 e^{i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t} \right) \right] \\ y(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \text{Re} \left( v_2 e^{i \frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t} \right) \right] \end{cases} \] where: \[ v_1 = A + i B = -\frac{11}{132} + i \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{132} \] and \[ v_2 = 1 \] Expressed with sines and cosines: \[ x(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ A \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) - B \sin \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right] \] \[ y(t) = e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right] \] Applying initial conditions: \[ x(0) = A \times 1 = 1 \Rightarrow A = 1 \] \[ y(0) = 1 \] But earlier, from the eigenvector, \(A = -\frac{11}{132}\), which is approximately \(-0.0833\). Since initial \(x(0) = 1\), the constants must be scaled accordingly. --- ### **Final explicit solution:** \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} x(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) + \frac{143}{11 \sqrt{263}} \left( - \frac{11}{132} \sin \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) + \frac{11 \sqrt{263}}{132} \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right) \right] \\ y(t) &= e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ \cos \left(\frac{\sqrt{263}}{2} t \right) \right] \end{aligned} } \] --- ### **Summary:** - Eigenvalues are complex conjugates. - Eigenvectors are calculated via algebraic manipulations. - The real solution involves exponentials times sines and cosines. - Constants are determined from initial conditions. --- If you'd like, I can help you write the simplified explicit formulas for \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\) with all constants substituted!
