Work Step by Step

$x_1'=2x_1 $ $x_2'=x_2-x_3$ $x_3'=x_2+x_3$ We begin by rewriting the system in operator form as $(D−1)x_2 + x_3=0$ (1) $-x_2+(D -1)x_3 =0 $ (2) To eliminate $x_2$ between these two equations, we first operate on equation (2) with $(D-1)$ to obtain: $-(D-1)x_2+(D-1)^2x_3=0$ Adding equation (1) to this equation eliminates $x_2$ and yields $(D^2-2D+2)x_3 =0$. This constant coefficient differential equation has auxiliary polynomial $P(r)=r^2-2r+2$ Consequently, $x_3(t)=c_2e^{t}\cos t+c_3e^{t}\sin t$ From equation $-x_2+(D -1)x_3 =0 $ $x_2=(D -1)x_3$ $x_2=c_3e^t\cos t-c_2e^t\sin t$
