Find the general solution of each of the following systems: (a) \(y_{1}^{\prime \prime}=-2 y_{2}\) (b) \(y_{1}^{\prime \prime}=2 y_{1}+y_{2}^{\prime}\) \(y_{2}^{\prime \prime}=y_{1}+3 y_{2} \quad y_{2}^{\prime \prime}=2 y_{2}+y_{1}^{\prime}\)
Let \(\lambda_{1}\) and \(\lambda_{2}\) be the eigenvalues of \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ b & c \end{array}\right) \\] What kind of conic section will the equation \\[ a x^{2}+2 b x y+c y^{2}=1 \\] represent if \(\lambda_{1} \lambda_{2}<0 ?\) Explain
Let \(A\) be a nonnegative irreducible \(3 \times 3\) matrix whose eigenvalues satisfy \(\lambda_{1}=2=\left|\lambda_{2}\right|=\left|\lambda_{3}\right|\) Determine \(\lambda_{2}\) and \(\lambda_{3}\)
