Consider a linear system whose state space Representation is $$\mathop x\limits^ \bullet \left( t \right) = AX\left( t \right).$$
If the initial state vector of the system is $$x\left( 0 \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr { - 2} \cr } } \right],$$
then the system response is $$x\left( t \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ {{e^{ - 2t}}} \cr { - 2{e^{ - 2t}}} \cr } } \right].$$
If the initial state vector of the system changes to $$x\left( 0 \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr { - 1} \cr } } \right],$$
then the system response becomes $$x\left( t \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ {{e^{ - t}}} \cr { - {e^{ - t}}} \cr } } \right].$$

The system matrix a is

The state space representation of a separately excited DC servo motor dynamics is given as $$$\left[ {\matrix{ {{{d\omega } \over {dt}}} \cr {{{d{i_a}} \over {dt}}} \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ { - 1} & 1 \cr { - 1} & { - 10} \cr } } \right]\left[ {\matrix{ \omega \cr {{i_a}} \cr } } \right] + \left[ {\matrix{ 0 \cr {10} \cr } } \right]u.$$$

Where 'ω' is the speed of the motor, 'i_a' is the armature current and u is the armature voltage. The transfer function $${{\omega \left( s \right)} \over {U\left( s \right)}}$$ of the motor is

A linear system is described by the following state equation $$$\mathop x\limits^ \bullet \left( t \right) = AX\left( t \right) + BU\left( t \right),A = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr { - 1} & 0 \cr } } \right].$$$
The state-transition matrix of the system is

The state variable equations of a system are: $$${\mathop {{x_1} = - 3{x_1} - x}\limits^ \bullet _2} + u$$$ $$${\mathop x\limits^ \bullet _2} = 2{x_1}$$$ $$$y = {x_1} + u.$$$
The system is
