3rd order homogeneous Linear ODE matrix transformation---how to write the answer
Transform this 3rd order homogeneous linear ODE with constant coefficients using matrix notation.
[tex]
y'''+7y''+6y'+3y=0
[/tex]
My answer is
[tex]x'=AX[/tex]
[tex]x=[x_1,x_2,x_3]^T [/tex]
[tex]A=Mat[[1,0,0][0,1,0][-7,-6,-3]] [/tex]
x'=
(x_1)
(x_2)
(-7x_1-6x_2-3x_3)
My question is do I leave in this form and also is it correct?
Thanks
