Transformation of second order equation $y''-0.1y+2=0$ into system of first order equations [closed]
How do you convert this second order equation into a system of first order equations?
$$y''-0.1y+2=0$$
My own guess is the following:
If $u=y$ and $v=y'$, then $u'=y'$ and $v'=y''$, which gives
$$ u'=v text{and} v'=0.1u+2$$

I will assume that $y$ is a function of $t$:
$$y''(t)=0.1y(t)-2$$
Let's call $y'(t)=v(t)$, which means that $y''(t)=v'(t)$:
$$v'(t)=0.1y(t)-2$$
And
$$y'(t)=v(t)$$
So your solution is almost correct, because you've just messed up a sign.
@LutzL yes, thank you!
