can be rewritten by solv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a = A + B (17.78)<br />

b = AB (17.79)<br />

for A and B. Then the second order equation is reduced to a sequence of<br />

first order equations<br />

(D + A)z = q(t) (17.80)<br />

(D + B)y = z(t) (17.81)<br />

One first solves the first equation for z then plugs the solution <strong>in</strong>to the<br />

second equation to solve for y.
