Question

How do I do this? please detail steps.

Answer 1

Define
${x} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\end{array}\right]$

Then
x₁ = cos(t) x₁(0) + sin(t) x₂(0)
x₂ = -sin(t) x₁(0) + cos(t) x₂(0)

Differentiate to obtain
x₁' = -sin(t) x₁(0) + cos(t) x₂(0)
x₂' = -cos(t) x₁(0) - sin(t) x₂(0)

That is,
$\dot{x} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-sin(t)&cos(t)\\-cos(t)&-sin(t)\end{array}\right] x(0)$

Note that
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\-1&09\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos(t)&sin(t)\\-sin(t)&cos(t)\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-sin(t)&cos(t)\\-cos(t)&-sin(t)\end{array}\right]$

Therefore
$x(t) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\-1&0\end{array}\right] x(t)$
