dy dy + 6- dt Consider the following second-order equation: + 7y = 0. dt2 (a) Convert the equation to a first-order, linear system. (b) Compute the eigenvalues and the associated eigenvectors. (c) For each eigenvalue from part (b), specify a corresponding straight-line solution. (d) Compare the results of your calculations in part (c) with the results that you obtained in Exercise 2 in Section 2.3 (HW#5) when you used the guess-and-test method. What do you notice?
