To solve the given system of differential equations, we proceed as follows:

The equation is:  
\[
\mathbf{x}' = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{pmatrix} \mathbf{x} + e^{2t} \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}
\]

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Find the Homogeneous Solution (\(\mathbf{x}_h\))**:  
   The homogeneous part is:
   \[
   \mathbf{x}' = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{pmatrix} \mathbf{x}.
   \]
   Solve the eigenvalue problem for the matrix:
   \[
   A = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{pmatrix}.
   \]

2. **Find the Eigenvalues**:  
   Compute the eigenvalues of \(A\) by solving \(\det(A - \lambda I) = 0\).  
   \[
   \det\left(\begin{pmatrix} -5 - \lambda & 1 \\ 4 & -2 - \lambda \end{pmatrix}\right) = 0.
   \]

3. **Find the Particular Solution (\(\mathbf{x}_p\))**:  
   Assume a particular solution of the form:
   \[
   \mathbf{x}_p = e^{2t} \mathbf{v},
   \]
   where \(\mathbf{v}\) is a constant vector. Substitute \(\mathbf{x}_p\) into the equation to solve for \(\mathbf{v}\).

**Questions to explore:**
1. How do eigenvalues and eigenvectors contribute to the homogeneous solution?
2. How does the exponential term affect the particular solution?
3. What role does the inhomogeneous term \(e^{2t}\begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\) play?
4. How do we verify the solution to a system of differential equations?
5. Can we graph the solution to visualize its behavior over time?

**Tip:** Solving eigenvalue problems for 2x2 matrices is quicker when you use the determinant shortcut formula!

Solve the differential equation: x'(t) = [(-5, 1), (4, -2)]x(t) + e^(2t) [6, -1].

Learn how to solve the system of differential equations x'(t) = Ax(t) + e^(2t)b. This detailed guide covers finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the homogeneous solution and applying the method of undetermined coefficients for the particular solution.
