EDIT I mean nodal, not mesh analysis xD

Are my are my equations correct?

Here is the solution according to wolfram!
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?...v2/(i*2*2)+(v2-v1)/(1/(2*i*0.2))+(v2-3v1)/4=0

or

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?...++b*0.25+++b*0.15*i++-+a+*0.75+-+a*0.4*i++=+0

but it still doesn't match the book's answer, I am not sure what's wrong :(

help please

Nodal analysis not mesh analysis :),

Anyone?
 
Your equations look correct, and I get the same solution you did. This is apparently one of those cases where the book has a wrong solution.

I allowed Mathematica to search for component values that would give the solution from the book. Setting the inductor to 3H and the capacitor to .3F came close.

Thanks, you have confirmed what I have suspected :D, I have literally spent hours trying to figure out who's wrong, me or the book.
