Solution of a system of differential equations:

Given,

1 1
x' x
4 2

To find the solution of the system of differential equation and sketch the

First find the Eigen values and Eigen vectors of the given matrix.

Let be the Eigen value of the given matrix.

Therefore,

1 1
0
4 2
1 2 4 0
2 2 4 0
2 6 0
3 2 0
3, 2

Now find the Eigen vector corresponding to each Eigen value.

 v1 1 3
Let be the Eigen vector corresponding to the Eigen value .

Therefore,

4 1 v1 ' 0
4 1 v '' 0
1

Therefore,

4v1 ' v1 '' 0

v1 '' 4v1 '

v1 ' 1
Put

Therefore,

1
v1
4

v2 2 2
Let be the Eigen vector corresponding to the Eigen value .

Therefore,

1 1 v2 ' 0
4 4 v '' 0
2
Therefore,

v2 ' v2 '' 0
v2 '' v2 '

v2 ' 1
Put

Therefore,

1
v2
1

Therefore, the solution of the system of differential equation is given as:

x1 ' 3t 1 2 t 1
x ' c1e 4 c2e 1
2

t
As the first term of the solution approaches to zero and the second term approaches to
infinity.

Phase Portrait of the system is given as:
