Consider the nonhomogeneous linear system of differential equations \begin{equation*} \frac{d}{dt}u = \begin{pmatrix} 8a^2 & -a^2 & -a^2 \ -a^2 & 8a^2 & -a^2 \ -a^2 & -a^2 & 8a^2 \end{pmatrix} u - 7a^2 \begin{pmatrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix} e^{-a^2t}, \end{equation*} where $a > 0$ is a positive constant. Which of the following is a particular solution of the system? (A) $u_p(t) = e^{-a^2t} \begin{pmatrix} -1 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ (B) $u_p(t) = e^{-a^2t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ (C) $u_p(t) = e^{-a^2t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \ 1 \ -1 \end{pmatrix}$ (D) $u_p(t) = e^{-a^2t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

The solution of a certain differential equation is of the form x(t) = Aexp(9t) + Bexp(10t), where A and B are constants. The solution has initial conditions x(0) = 10 and x'(0) = 8. Find the solution by using the initial conditions to get linear equations for A and B.
