Homework Statement
Solv the simultaneous homogenous differential equation
[tex]\begin{cases} dy/dx + dz/dx + 3y = 0 \\ dy/dx - y + z = 0 \end{cases}[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
(from eq 2),
[tex]dy/dx = y - z [/tex] --- eq (3)
(substituting eq 3 in eq 1),
[tex]\therefore dz/dx = z - 4y [/tex]
[tex]\therefore dz = (z - 4y)dx[/tex]
[tex]but, dy/(y - z) = dx[/tex]
[tex]\therefore dz = \frac{(z - 4y)}{(y - z)} dy[/tex]
[tex]\therefore dz = \frac{(z - 4y)}{(y - z)} dy[/tex]
I am now having trouble separating the variables. Help would be appreciated.
