In matrix form, this equation is [ x y ] ′ = A [ 1 1 1 1 ] v [ x y ] . Now we have e t A = n = 0 ∑ ∞ n ! 1 [ t t t t ] n = I + n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ! 1 [ 2 n − 1 t n 2 n − 1 t n 2 n − 1 t n 2 n − 1 t n ] , which becomes I + 2 1 [ e 2 t − 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t − 1 ] = 2 1 [ e 2 t + 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t + 1 ] . Our solution is v ( t ) = 2 1 [ e 2 t + 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t − 1 e 2 t + 1 ] [ 1 1 ] , and multiplying out gives that x ( t ) = y ( t ) = e 2 t . Then, x ( 2 ) y ( 2 ) = e 8 , so the answer is 8.
