Semester One Final Examination, 2012 MATH2010 Analysis of Ordinary Differential Equations 1. (a) (16 marks) Setting y1 = y, 92 = y, express the second order ODE ÿ - 3? + 2y = 0 as a system of DEs y = Ay, y = ( y1 1/2 ) for a suitable 2 × 2 matrix A. Sketch the trajectories of the system in the phase plane, indicating the direction of flow, and classify the type and stability of the critical point at the origin. State the equation of any straight line trajectories and find the equation of the line on which the slope of the trajectories is zero. Determine the points in the phase plane for which y1 is increasing with time. Let y1 = y, and y2= y then y1 = y2 and y2 =- 2y1+3y2. In matrix form (y) = (0,1)/31. -2 3/1y2/ Since det A = 2, trace A = 3 and (trace A)2- 4 det A = 1>0 the critical point is an unstable node.
