(8) Transform u” + 2u’ + 3u = 0 into a system of first order equations.
(9) Let the origin be the isolated critical point of the linear system x! = Ax and of the nonlinear system
x! = Ax + g(x), where A is a 2x2 constant matrix. Assume that x” = Ax + g(x) is a locally linear
system in the neighborhood of the origin. Then these two systems always have the same phase portrait in
the neighborhood of the origin. True or false?
(10) If a critical point is a center, then it is stable but not asymptotically stable. True or false?Com
