Consider the state space system expressed by the signal flow diagram shown in the figure.

The corresponding system is

The state equation of a second-order linear system is given by $$\mathop x\limits^ \bullet \left( t \right) = Ax\left( t \right),x\left( 0 \right) = {x_0}.$$
For $${x_0} = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr { - 1} \cr } } \right],x\left( t \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ {{e^{ - t}}} \cr { - {e^{ - t}}} \cr } } \right]$$ and for $${x_0} = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 \cr 1 \cr } } \right],x\left( t \right) = \left[ {\matrix{ {{e^{ - t}}} & { - {e^{ - 2t}}} \cr { - {e^{ - t}}} & { + 2{e^{ - 2t}}} \cr } } \right]$$ when $${x_0} = \left[ {\matrix{ 3 \cr 5 \cr } } \right],x\left( t \right)$$ is
