This GeoGebra example demonstrates the phase portrait of a linear system of differential equations with constant coefficients when the coefficient matrix has two imaginary eigenvalues. It visualizes trajectories around an equilibrium point, typically closed orbits for a center, and connects eigenvalues, eigenvectors, stability, and phase-plane analysis. The construction uses the SolveODE command to solve the differential equations, numericalIntegral1 through numericalIntegral8 to generate or support trajectory-related computations, objects such as a, g, A, f, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H to organize parameters and key points, and text1 through text4 for annotations. It is suitable for undergraduate differential equations, linear algebra, dynamical systems, and mathematical modeling courses.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a phase portrait for a linear system of differential equations with constant coefficients where the coefficient matrix has purely imaginary eigenvalues, showing trajectories around an equilibrium point, typically closed orbits for a center. Use SolveODE to solve the differential equations and generate several trajectories, labeling eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and analyzing stability in the phase plane.
