Is the following difference equation of order 3? Explain.\({y_{k + 3}} + 5{y_{k + 2}} + 6{y_{k + 1}} = 0\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the order of the given difference equation is 2.

Step by step solution

01

Replace \(k\)by \(k - 1\) and simplify the resulting equation

\(\begin{aligned} {y_{\left( {k - 1} \right) + 3}} + 5{y_{\left( {k - 1} \right) + 2}} + 6{y_{\left( {k - 1} \right) + 1}} &= 0\\{y_{k + 2}} + 5{y_{k + 1}} + 6{y_k} &= 0\end{aligned}\)

02

Compare the two equations for some value of \(k\)

For \(k = 2\), the given equation becomes \({y_5} + 5{y_4} + 6{y_3} = 0\). For \(k = 3\), the transformed equation becomes \({y_5} + 5{y_4} + 6{y_3} = 0\).

The second difference equation results in a transformed one for each successive value of \(k\). It means that both equations are true for all the natural values assumed for \(k\).

03

Draw a conclusion

As the difference equation \({y_{k + 2}} + 5{y_{k + 1}} + 6{y_k} = 0\) is true for all \(k\), the order of the difference equation is 2.

  1. Construct matrices \(C\) and \(N\) whose columns are bases for \({\mathop{\rm Col}\nolimits} A\) and \({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} A\), respectively, and construct a matrix \(R\) whose rows form a basis for Row\(A\).
  2. Construct a matrix \(M\) whose columns form a basis for \({\mathop{\rm Nul}\nolimits} {A^T}\), form the matrices \(S = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{R^T}}&N\end{array}} \right]\) and \(T = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}C&M\end{array}} \right]\), and explain why \(S\) and \(T\) should be square. Verify that both \(S\) and \(T\) are invertible.

Suppose \(A\) is \(m \times n\)and \(b\) is in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). What has to be true about the two numbers rank \(\left[ {A\,\,\,{\rm{b}}} \right]\) and \({\rm{rank}}\,A\) in order for the equation \(Ax = b\) to be consistent?

In Exercise 1, find the vector x determined by the given coordinate vector \({\left( x \right)_{\rm B}}\) and the given basis \({\rm B}\).

1. \({\rm B} = \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}\\{ - {\bf{5}}}\end{array}} \right),\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{4}}}\\{\bf{6}}\end{array}} \right)} \right\},{\left( x \right)_{\rm B}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{array}} \right)\)

Let V be a vector space that contains a linearly independent set \(\left\{ {{u_{\bf{1}}},{u_{\bf{2}}},{u_{\bf{3}}},{u_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\). Describe how to construct a set of vectors \(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{2}}},{v_{\bf{3}}},{v_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\) in V such that \(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\) is a basis for Span\(\left\{ {{v_{\bf{1}}},{v_{\bf{2}}},{v_{\bf{3}}},{v_{\bf{4}}}} \right\}\).

(calculus required) Define \(T:C\left( {0,1} \right) \to C\left( {0,1} \right)\) as follows: For f in \(C\left( {0,1} \right)\), let \(T\left( t \right)\) be the antiderivative \({\mathop{\rm F}\nolimits} \) of \({\mathop{\rm f}\nolimits} \) such that \({\mathop{\rm F}\nolimits} \left( 0 \right) = 0\). Show that \(T\) is a linear transformation, and describe the kernel of \(T\). (See the notation in Exercise 20 of Section 4.1.)
