Chapter 2, Problem 52(choose chapter or problem)
Radioactive Decay Series The following system of differential equations is encountered in the study of the decay of a special type of radioactive series of elements:
\(\frac{d x}{d t}=-\lambda_{1} x\),
\(\frac{d y}{d t}=\lambda_{1} x-\lambda_{2} y\),
where \(\lambda_{1} \text { and } \lambda_{2}\) are constants. Discuss how to solve this system subject to \(x(0)=x_{0}, y(0)=y_{0}\). Carry out your ideas.
