Instructions

#Homework Please do a written solution for problems 1 and 2. We will review them on Monday, Sept 16 in class prior to the assignment being due.

Please upload a Jupyter Notebook for problems 3 and 4.

Problems 1 and 2 are worth 10 points each, problems 3 and 4 are worth 15 points each.

Written Problems

Problem 1

Please find the general solution of


\bf{\dot{X}} = 
\begin{bmatrix}   
-1 & 5 & 2\\   
4 & -1 & -2\\
0 & 0 & 6
\end{bmatrix}
\bf{X}

Problem 2

Please find the general solution of


\bf{\dot{X}} = 
\begin{bmatrix}   
-6 & 5 \\   
-5 & 4 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\bf{X}

Python Problems

Problem 3

The Archimedes Spiral can be plotted by taking all the positive whole numbers (e.g.j = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...) and putting them into the format n = (j,j) , and plotting them in polar coordinates where the first term, n_1, is the radius, and the second term, n_2, is the angle in radians.

Part A

You need to plot the first 1000 terms in a scatter plot. In addition, we would like to only look at the top right quadrant! What you're going for is shown in Figure 1.

Part B

You need to plot the first 25 terms, looking at th eentire polar plot (all quadrants, and then, put a smooth line through it. What you're going for is shown in Figure 2.) Hint: This will be a useful reference

Problem 4

Consider the following system:


\bf{\dot{X}} = 
\begin{bmatrix}   
1 & 2 & 1\\   
3 & 1+x & 1\\
1 & 0 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
\bf{X}

This linear differential equation systems behavior is governed by its eigenvalues. In particular, the eigenvalues relate to stability and we may wish to see where they cross the 0 line (in terms of their real value). The constant x varies over the interval [5, 5]. Using a Jupyter Notebook (local, or on Google Colab), Python, NumPy, and Matplotlibs PyPlot, you should evaluate the eigenvalues for 50 evenly spaced values of x between 5 and 5, and produce a plot that visualizes the variation in the three eigenvalues as x varies. An example plot is shown in Figure 3 (for a different matrix!)
