b) Find a particular solution satisfying the initial conditions
where A is (Define your coefficient matrix here) ==>
So, given the system of differential equations
On a piece of paper, convert the differential equation in part A to a first-order system of the form and obtain the coefficient matrix A.
A good source to use for help can be found on the WebCT (this hyperlink will take you to the logon page of WebCT). Look for the file "7.5 P25-m3d2.htm" under "Lecture Notes" on the webCT page of the course. or my webpage (this will take you directly to the file).
In this part, as stated in the objectives, you will be asked to convert the scalar differential equation, solved in part A, to a system of first order differential equations. Then, solve the system using the eigenvalue-eigenvector method and compare the two solutions. You will also be asked to find the relationship between components of the system solution and the solution of the scalar equation and its derivatives.

2. Evaluate the solution y(t) and its derivatives y'(t) and y''(t) at t = 0 and set them equal to the initial conditions. This will give three equations in the three unknowns c1, c2 and c3 as computed below:
