The non-homog part is wrong and I'm not sure why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just did the det(A-Ir)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay, it's a trick my teacher taught me. I'm not sure if my matrix multiplication is the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that's just x particular and I multiplied the fundamental matrix times u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u' is the inverse fundamental matrix times the non-homog. part of the equation

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am so sorry, I lost.!!! My prof didn't teach me this way. Let's wait for Kanui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the line containing \(u'\), on the far right, the entry in the second row should have \(3e^t\), not \(3e^{-t}\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's 3e^-t because that's the non-homog. part of the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not what I meant. Here: \[u'=-\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix}-\sqrt3e^{-2t}&-e^{-2t}\\ -e^{2t}&\color{red}{\sqrt3e^{2t}}\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}e^t\\\color{red}{\sqrt3e^{-t}}\end{pmatrix}=-\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix}-\sqrt3e^{-t}-\sqrt3e^{-3t}\\ -e^{3t}+\color{red}{3e^t}\end{pmatrix}\]

you're so right! thanks! this algebra is tedious -.-
