Question

Consider the second-order initial value problem y''(x)+4y'(x)+5y(x)=0 with y(0)=3,y'(0)=-5 (a) Reformulate the given second-order equation as an equivalent system of differential equations. (b) Solve the reformulated system over the interval [0,0.2] using the Kutta method (RK2) with a step size h=0.1

Answer 1

(a) To reformulate the given second-order equation as an equivalent system of differential equations, we can introduce a new variable

such that

. Then, the equation becomes:

Now, we can rewrite this equation in terms of

and

:

So, the equivalent system of differential equations is:

(b) To solve the reformulated system over the interval

using the Kutta method (RK2) with a step size

, we can follow these steps:1. Initialize the values of

and

as

and

, respectively.2. For each step, calculate the values of

and

using the Kutta method formulas:

where

.3. Repeat step 2 for

to obtain the values of

and

at each step.4. The final values of

and

at

will be the solution to the reformulated system over the interval

.Note: The Kutta method formulas provided above are for the RK2 method. There are other Kutta methods (e.g., RK4) that can be used for solving differential equations, but the formulas would be different.
