Note: If the di erential equation is on standard form, the rst coe cient is 1 on the LHS.

Ex.6a. Derive a di erential equation, on standard form, that relates the output ( ) to the
reference ( ). Arrange the terms containing ( ) on the left hand side, with the term
with the highest order derivative to the far left. Arrange the terms containing ( ) in the
same way on the right hand side of the equation.

Starting at the far left, what is the rst coe cient at the ( ) side of the equation?
Enter the coe ecient in the input eld below.

3  Answer: 1

▲Ex.6a. Explanation:
Denote − as . Then the two di erential equations can be written as:

( )
+ 1 ( ) = 1 ( )

and

= ( ) + ( )

0

Take the derivative of both equations, then we get:

2
( ) ( ) ( )
+ 1 = 1 (1)
2

and

( ) ( )
= + ( ) (2)

We now see that LHS of (1) is equal to times RHS of (2). This gives us that:

2
( ) ( ) ( )
+ 1 = 1 + 1 ( )
2

Now write as − again:

2
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
+ 1 = 1 − 1 + 1 ( ( ) − ( ))
2

Arrange the terms so that terms containing ( ) are on the LHS and terms containing ( )

are on the RHS. The resulting second order di erential equation is:
