These are problems from the text that were advised to study for the next exam.
1) Determine the values of r for which det(A-rI) = 0
2) Verify that X(t) is a fundamental matrix for the given system and compute X-1(t). Use the result, x' = Ax, x(t0) = x0 to find the solution to the given initial value problem.
3) Using matrix algebra techniques, find a general solution of the system.
4) Find the solution to the given system that satisfies the given initial condition.
5) Find the solution to the given system that satisfies the given initial condition.
