Your answer

Choose one option, then check your answer.

\frac{d}{dt} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 4 \\ -2 & -4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 4 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} i_1 \\ i_2 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{d}{dt} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & -4 \\ -2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 4 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} i_1 \\ i_2 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{d}{dt} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -4 \\ -2 & -4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 4 \\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} i_1 \\ i_2 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{d}{dt} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & -4 \\ -2 & -4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} v \\ i \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} i_1 \\ i_2 \end{bmatrix}
