6.3: 2, 4, 8, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 27, 29
Homework #5 (Wed. June 29)
[You have most answers in the book, so be sure to
show the work justifying your results.]
7.1: 1,4,5, 15, 16
[7.1 notes. In 1,4,5 give definitions for
the variables x_1, ... in terms of u and its derivatives.]
7.2: 1ac, 3a, 8ac, 10, 11, 12[show work as on p.370), 21c,
22, 25
7.3: 3, 6 ,7, 13,14, 15, 16
7.4: 5, 6
[7.4 notes. In problem 6(c):
justify the deduction. In problem 6(d):
show work as follows.
You are looking for the matrix A=A(t) such that x'=Ax for each of
the two given vectors x. So, let X=X(t) be the 2x2 matrix whose columns
are those given vectors. Now you are looking for A such that AX=X'.
Multiply both sides from the right by X^{-1} to find A.]
7.5: 1, 8, 16, 20, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31
[7.5 notes. In #31: also draw the phase
portrait for the following three cases:
alpha equals 1;
alpha is a little bigger than 1;
alpha is a little smaller than 1.]
Homework #6 (Wed. July 6)

13
