In a chemical plant, two connected tanks each contain a suspension of solid precipitate. The liquid in the tanks is caused to flow back and forth between the tanks, resulting in varying concentrations of the precipitate in each tank.
The concentrations in tank 1 and tank 2, measured relative to a fixed positive reference concentration, are given by respectively at time . They are governed by the following pair of first order, coupled differential equations:
where a = -5, b = 9, c = -27, d = 31

Q1.
(*)
where a=-2 b=8 c=-24 d=30
(1) Find particular solutions satisfying initial conditions x=16 and y=3 at t=0. For this part of the question give x as a function of t.
Solution. We can write (*) as a form of matrix.
.......(**)
So, we have a matrix
Now we need to find its eigenvalues by solving the following equation
So,
gives two eigenvalues
So, has two eigenvalues .
Now we need to find the eigenvectors
When , we have
So, we can choose a vector
When , we have
So, we can choose a vector
Now we can form a matrix
We can find the inverse of P is
Also, we can check
Now we do linear transformation
where . Then by (**), we have
So,
Note that
We have
i.e.
So, its solution is
So, we get general solution to original variables x and y is
=
.................................(***)
Now we use initial condition ...

- "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
