Step by step solution

01

(a)Step 1: Show that the system  dx→dt=gradq is linear by finding a matrix B in quadratic form

Consider a quadratic form qx→=x→·Ax→of two variables x1   and  x2

Assume that the system of differential equations as

dx1dt=∂q∂x1dx2dt=∂q∂x2

Also it can be termed as dx→dt=gradq such that gradq=Bx→

dx→dt=Bx→Assume  dx1dt=Aand      dx2dt=ASince    dx1dt+ dx2dt=BA+A=B2A=B

Hence the solution

02

(b)Step 2:Explanation for the stability of the system  dx→dt=gradq using sketches in definite quadratic form

Considerthe zero state is an asymptotically stable equilibrium solution if and only if the real parts of all eigen values of A are negative.

Similarly heredx→dt=gradq,where A is gradq

The zero state is a stable equilibrium of the systemdx→dt=gradqif and only if q is negative definite.

Then the eigenvalues of A and B are all negative.

Thus the diagram.

03

(c)Step 3: Explanation for the stability of the system  dx→dt=gradq using sketches in indefinite quadratic form

Considerthe zero state is an asymptotically stable equilibrium solution if and only if the real parts of all eigen values of A are negative.

Similarly, here,dx→dt=gradqwhere A is gradq

The zero state is a stable equilibrium of the systemdx→dt=gradqif and only if q is negative definite.

Then the eigenvalues of A and B are all negative.

Hence the diagram.

04

(d)Step 4:Explanation for the relationship between the definiteness of the form q and the stability of the system dx→dt=gradq

Considerthe zero state is an asymptotically stable equilibrium solution if and only if the real parts of all eigen values of A are negative.

Similarly, heredx→dt=gradq,where A is gradq.

The zero state is a stable equilibrium of the systemdx→dt=gradqif and only if q is negative definite.

Then the eigenvalues of real parts ofAand B are all negative.

Question:The carbon in living matter contains a minute proportion of the radioactive isotope C-14. This radiocarbon arises from cosmic-ray bombardment in the upper atmosphere and enters living systems by exchange processes. After the death of an organism, exchange stops, and the carbon decays. Therefore, carbon dating enables us to calculate the time at which an organism died. Let x(t) be the proportion of the original C-14 still present t years after death. By definition,x(0)=1=100% . We are told that x(t) satisfies the differential equation

dxdt=-18270x.

(a) Find a formula for x(t). Determine the half-life of(that is, the time it takes for half of the C-14 to decay).

(b)The Iceman. In 1991, the body of a man was found in melting snow in the Alps of Northern Italy. A well-known historian in Innsbruck, Austria, determined that the man had lived in the Bronze Age, which started about 2000 B.C. in that region. Examination of tissue samples performed independently at Zurich and Oxford revealed that 47% of the C-14 present in the body at the time of his death had decayed. When did this man die? Is the result of the carbon dating compatible with the estimate of the Austrian historian?

Solve the nonlinear differential equations in Exercises 6through 11 using the method of separation of variables:Write the differential equation dxdt=fxas dxfx=dtand integrate both sides.

8.dxdt=x,x(0)=4

Solve the nonlinear differential equations in Exercises 6through 11 using the method of separation of variables:Write the differential equation dxdt=fxas dxfx=dtand integrate both sides.

10.dxdt=1cos(x),x(0)=0

The displacement x(t) of a certain oscillator can be modeled by the DE

d2xdt2+2dxdt+101x=0.

Find all solution of the DE, and graph a typically solution. How many times will the oscillation go through the equilibrium state x = 0?

Question: Consider the interaction of two species in a habitat. We are told that the change of the populationsx→(t)andy→(t) can be moderated by the equation

|dxdt=1.4x-1.2ydxdt=1.8x-1.4y|

where timeis a measured in years.

  1. What kind of intersection do we observe (symbiosis, competition, or predator-prey)?
  2. Sketch the phase portrait for the system. From the nature of the problem, we are interested only in the first quadrant.
  3. What will happen in the long term? Does the outcome depend on the initial populations? If so, how?
