Homework Statement

\dot{x}=2x+5y+1, \dot{y}=-x+3y-4

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Well, if system was: \dot{x}=2x+5y, \dot{y}=-x+3y we let a=2, b=5, c=-1, d=3.
Then p = a + d and q =ad - bc and we investigate p^2-4q
Don't know what to do when \dot{x}=2x+5y+1, \dot{y}=-x+3y-4
Thanks

Why don't you try making a change in coordinates?

Solve the system of equations:
2x + 5y = -1; -x + 3y = 4;
for x and y. Assume we obtain the solutions x=x_0, y=y_0. Then a substitution of the form x^* = x + x_0; y^* = y + y_0 will give you a set of homogeneous ODEs in a shifted coordinate system. Fixed points of this new set of ODEs are related to the old set by the coordinate transformations above.
