Problem 9. Mathematica may be used as indicated. Consider the differential equation y" (t) - 4y' (t) + y (t) = 5. (1) 1. Let Y = = y' Find a 2 x 2 matrix A, and a vector v such that the ODE (1) can be expressed in the form Y' = AY +v. (2 marks) (2) 2. Find a change of variables p = y-a, q = z-b for some real numbers a, b, so that (2) is transformed to the homogeneous linear system X' = BX, (3) where B is a 2 x 2 matrix. Find the eigenvalues of the matrix B without using Mathematica. (You may check your answer using Mathematica!). Either by hand or using Mathematica, find two (linearly independent) eigenvectors of B. (3 marks) 3. Find and classify the critical points of (3). Then use Mathematica to visualise the phase portrait of (3). (2 marks) 4. Explain how the solution to (3) is related to the solution to (2).
