Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Obtain: $Xu'(t)=b\\ u'(t)=X^{-1}b\\ \rightarrow u(t)=\int^t X^{-1}(s)b(s)ds$ The parameters $u(t)$ in the equation $x_p(t) = X(t)u(t)$, where $X(t)$ is a fundamental matrix for $x′ = Ax$, are determined by solving the system $X(t)u′(t) = b(t)$ for $u′(t)$ and integrating the resulting vector function.
