In summary, Solve IVP provides the following solution: x'= 4e^{4t}(A cos(2t)+ B sin(2t))+ e^{4t}(-2A sin(2t)+ 2B cos(2t))= e^{4t}((4A+ 2B)cos(2t)+ (B- 2A)sin(2t))

Solve IVP
$\begin{array}{rl}x' & = 2x + 2y\\y' & = -4x + 6y\\x(0) & = 2\\y(0) & = -3
\end{array}$
assume we can proceed with this first
$A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}2&2\\-4&6\end{array}\right]\\
A-rI=\left[\begin{array}{rr}2-r&2\\-4&6-r\end{array}\right]=r^{2} -8r + 20 = 0 \quad r_1 = 4 -2 i \quad r_2=4+2i$

eigenvector: $\left[\begin{array}{c}\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{i}{2}\\1\end{array}\right]$

eigenvector: $\left[\begin{array}{c}\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{i}{2}\\1\end{array}\right]$

so far

Once again, I would not use matrices for this simple a problem.

We have x'= 2x+ 2y so x''= 2x'+ 2y'.
We also have y'= -4x+ 6y so x''= 2x'+ 2(-4x+ 6y)= 2x'- 8x+ 12y.From x'= 2x+ 2y, 2y= x'- 2x so 12y= 6x'- 12x

We have x''= 2x'- 8x+ 6x'- 12x= 8x'- 20x
.x''- 8x'+ 20x= 0.

The characteristic equation is r^2- 8r+ 20= r^2- 8r+ 16- 16+ 20= (r- 4)^2+ 4= 0.
(r- 4)^2= -4 so $r- 4= \pm 2i$. $r= 4\pm 2i$

$x= e^{4t}(A cos(2t)+ B sin(2t))$
$12y= 6x'- 12x$ so $y= (1/2)x'- x$

$x'= 4e^{4t}(A cos(2t)+ B sin(2t))+ e^{4t}(-2A sin(2t)+ 2B cos(2t))= e^{4t}((4A+ 2B)cos(2t)+ (B- 2A)sin(2t))$

so $y= e^{4t}((2A+B)cos(2t)+ (B/2- A)sin(2t))- e^{4t}(A cos(2t)+ B sin(2t))= e^{4t}((A+ B)cos(2t)+ (3B/2- A)sin(2t))$

x(0)= A= 2 and y(0)= A+ B= 2+ B= -3 so B= -5.

$x(t)= e^{4t}(-2 cos(2t)- 9 sin(2t))$
$y(t)= e^{4t}(-3 cos(2t)-(11/2)sin(2t)$.

ok I don't think I understood every step, but let me try the the next one with this example on a new thread
it should be 3.4.5.7

that's a lot of help you are providing, I see too there are lots of views
 

What is an IVP?

An IVP, or initial value problem, is a type of mathematical problem that involves finding a function that satisfies a given differential equation and a set of initial conditions.

What is the significance of 3.4.5.5 in this problem?

3.4.5.5 is most likely the set of initial conditions for the IVP. These numbers represent specific values that are used to solve the problem.

What are eigenvectors?

Eigenvectors are special vectors that remain in the same direction when multiplied by a given matrix. They are used to solve systems of linear equations and are important in many areas of mathematics and science.

How are eigenvectors found?

Eigenvectors are found by solving the characteristic equation of a matrix. This involves finding the eigenvalues of the matrix and then using those values to solve for the corresponding eigenvectors.

What is the importance of finding eigenvectors in this IVP?

In this IVP, eigenvectors are used to find the solution to the given differential equation. They provide important information about the behavior of the system and help to simplify the solution process.
