          QUESTION 2
Consider a suspension system in a car with two masses $x(t)$ represents the displacement of
the car body relative to the equilibrium position, and $y(t)$ represents the displacement of the
wheel relative to the car body. The system is modelled as a spring-damper system where the
following system of differential equations governs forces between the car body and the wheel:
$\frac{dx}{dt} = -5x + 3y$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = 2x - 4y$
[Formula: $X = C_1K_1e^{\lambda_1t} + C_2K_2e^{\lambda_2t} +...+ C_nK_ne^{\lambda_nt}$]
(a) Express this system of differential equations in matrix form.
[1 mark]
(b) Determine the eigenvalues of the system.
