1. Solve the system,

Solution:

Dr. Tamer ÇALIŞIR

2. Determine the value of t for which x3(t) is minimized in

Solution:

Only one component of the solution is required, so it is wasted effort to solve the entire system.
Use Cramer’s rule to obtain

Now set

dx 3 t 
0
dt

to conclude that x3(t) is minimized at

t  1 2
