do the following:
a. Solve the preceding state equation and obtain the output for the
given exponential input.
b. Find the eigenvalues and the system poles.

SOLUTION: we have
then
Since U(s) (the Laplace transform for 𝑒 𝑡 ) is 1/(s + 1), X(s) can be calculated.

7.2 Time Domain Solution of State
Equations
We now look at another technique for solving the state
equations. Rather than using the Laplace transform, we solve the
equations directly in the time domain using a method closely
allied to the classical solution of differential equations.
We have 𝑥ሶ 𝑡 = 𝐴𝑥 𝑡 + 𝐵𝑢(𝑡)

PROBLEM: For the state equation and initial state vector shown
below, where u(t) is a unit step, find the state-transition matrix and
then solve for x(t).
