    Exercise \(\PageIndex{34}\)

    Under the assumptions of Theorem \((4.5.2)\), let

    \begin{eqnarray*}
    {\bf y}_1 &=&{\bf x} e^{\lambda_1t},\\
    {\bf y}_2&=&{\bf u}e^{\lambda_1t}+{\bf x} te^{\lambda_1t},\mbox{

    Exercise \(\PageIndex{35}\)

    Suppose the matrix

    \begin{eqnarray*}
    A = \left[ \begin{array} \\ a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{array} \right]
    \end{eqnarray*}

    has a repeated eigenvalue \(\lambda_1\) and the associated eigenspace is one-dimensional. Let \({\bf x}\) be a \(\lambda_1\)-eigenvector of \(A\). Show that if \((A-\lambda_1I){\bf u}_1={\bf x}\) and \((A-\lambda_1I){\bf u}_2={\bf x}\), then \({\bf u}_2-{\bf u}_1\) is parallel to \({\bf x}\). Conclude from this that all vectors \({\bf u}\) such that \((A-\lambda_1I){\bf u}={\bf x}\) define the same positive and negative half-planes with respect to the line \(L\) through the origin parallel to \({\bf x}\).
