204 Quiz 4 (3.4 – 3.6) Name__________________________________ _____/24



1) [8 points] Consider the linear system

𝑥’ = −8𝑥 − 2𝑦
𝑦’ = 8𝑥

(a) [4 pts] Sketch the phase portrait of this system over the square [-6, 6] x [-6, 6]. Make sure you show the
computations that justify your answers.






(b) [4 pts] Find a formula for the solution to the system that satisfies the initial condition (2, -1).
Hint: The general form for the solution to a system with a repeated eigenvalue and initial condition 𝒗𝟎 is
𝒀 = 𝑒 !" 𝒗𝟎 + 𝑡𝑒 !" 𝒗𝟏 where 𝒗𝟏 = (𝐴 − 𝜆𝐼)𝒗𝟎 .







2) [8 points] Consider the harmonic oscillator with mass 1, spring constant 4, and positive damping coefficient b.
Find the values of b for which the system is overdamped, critically damped, underdamped, and undamped.








































Overdamped:_________________________________ Critically damped:____________________________________




Underdamped:________________________________ Undamped:_________________________________________





3) [8 points] Consider the second order equation below.

𝑦’’ + 2𝑦’ + 17𝑦 = 0

a) Compute the general solution to the second order equation.





















b) Find the particular solution that satisfies the initial conditions y(0) = 1 and y’(0) = 3.
