Solving linear DE systems using fundamental matrix

In summary, solving linear differential equation (DE) systems using the fundamental matrix involves representing the system of equations in matrix form, where the fundamental matrix encapsulates the solutions of the homogeneous system. This matrix is constructed from the linearly independent solutions of the DEs, allowing for the use of matrix exponentiation to find the general solution. The particular solution can be obtained by incorporating initial conditions and using methods such as variation of parameters. This approach provides a systematic way to analyze and solve linear DE systems efficiently.

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!
