Short Answer

For the linear system dxdt=[-2031]x(t)find the matching phase portrait.

The phase portrait corresponds to V

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: To find the eigenvalues

Consider the linear system as follows.

dxdt=-2031xt

To find the eigenvalues, evaluate A-λI=0as follows.

A-λI=0-2-λ031-λ=0-2-λ1-λ-30=0λ2-2+2λ-λ-0=0

Simplify further as follows.

λ2+λ-2=0λ2-λ+2λ-2=0λλ-1+2λ-1=0λ+2λ-1=0

Simplify further as follows.

λ+2=0λ1=-2λ-1=0λ2=1

Therefore, the eigenvalues are λ1=-2 and λ2=1

Step 2: Observation of the phase portrait

The eigenvalues are λ1=-2 and λ2=1

Since, the eigenvalues are real and distinct are of opposite sign.

Therefore, the phase portrait is in figure 5 as follows.

Hence, the phase portrait to the linear system dxdt=-2031xt is V.
