How to solve this pair of differential equations?












1












$begingroup$


The equations are



$$y' = y + 3z$$$$z' = -3y + z$$I vaguely remember I need to differentiate one to get the form of the other, but by differentiating the first and subbing in the second I get$$y'' = y' + 3z'=> y''- y' + 9y = 3z$$ I don't know what to do from here.



Edit:
From here I got to $y''-2y'+10y = 0$, so from $m^2-2m+10=0$ we get$$y=e^x(Acos(3x) + Bsin(3x))$$Where would I go from here?

From the first equation, $z = frac{1}{3}(y'-y)$ and $y'' = y' + 3z'$. From the second eqution, $z' = -3y+z = -3y+frac{1}{3}(y'-y)$. So, $$y'' = y'+ 3(-3y+frac{1}{3}(y'-y)) \ Rightarrow y'' - 2y' + 10y = 0 \ Rightarrow y = (Acos(3x)+Bsin(3x))exp(x) $$



Recalling that $z = frac{1}{3}(y'-y)$, we first calculate $$y' = y + (Bcos(3x)-Asin(3x))exp(x) $$



and so



$$ z = left(frac{B}{3}cos(3x)-frac{A}{3}sin(3x)right)exp(x) $$

    Your equation is
    $$x'(t)=Mx(t)$$
    Where
    $$M=begin{bmatrix}1&3\-3&1 end{bmatrix}$$
    $$x(t)=begin{bmatrix}y(t)\z(t)end{bmatrix}$$
    Which has the solution
    $$x(t)=e^{Mt}x(0)$$

    $(y,z)'=Acdot(y,z)$ where $A=begin{pmatrix}1&3\-3&1end{pmatrix}$. Hence
    $$
    (y,z)(t) = exp(tA)cdot(y,z)(0)
