Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Solve the simultaneous equations \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 2x + y\) and \(\frac{dy}{dt} = -x + 4y\) with initial conditions \(x(0) = 0, y(0) = 1\). Provide both functional forms and interpretations.
💡 Hint: Keep track of your algebra when combining terms!
Analyze the effect of varying initial conditions on the solutions of the given equations \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 3x + 2y\) and \(\frac{dy}{dt} = -5x + y\). Predict how changes in \(x(0)\) and \(y(0)\) will alter the behavior of the solutions.
💡 Hint: Visualize the results obtained from the Laplace transform to see how behavior changes!
