Solving linear DE systems using fundamental matrix

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on confusion regarding a term in a linear differential equations problem, specifically questioning the replacement of a term with e^{3t}, which participants agree is likely a typo. Additionally, there is a query about the inclusion of a comma in the notation for the fundamental matrix, which some find unusual. The responses confirm the typo and express a need for clarification on the notation. Overall, the conversation highlights common issues in mathematical texts, such as typographical errors and notation inconsistencies. Clear communication in mathematical writing is essential for understanding.

I am confused by the term below. I get all their terms, expect replacing the highlighted term by ##e^{3t}##, does someone please know whether this is yet another typo?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply @Orodruin! Do you also please know why they include a comma in the matrix fundamental matrix? It seems a strange use of notation to mean.

Thanks!
