Solve the given system of differential equations by systematic elimination.
Solve the given system of differential equations by systematic elimination. 2dx/dt - 4x + dy/dt = e^t dx/dt - x + dy/dt = 5e^tSolution
Subtracting second equation from first gives
x\'-3x=-4e^t
Integrating factor ie e^{-3t}
Multiplying by this integrating factor gives
(x\'-3x)e^{-3t}=-4e^{-2t}
(xe^{-3t})\'=-4e^{-2t}
Integrating gives
xe^{-3t}=2e^{-2t}+c1
x=2e^t+c1e^{3t}
x\'-x+y\'=5e^t
2e^t+3c1e^{3t}-2e^t-c1e^{3t}+y\'=5e^t
y\'=5e^t-2c1e^{3t}
INtegrating gives
y=5e^t-2/3 c1e^{3t}+c2
