Transcribed Image Text:### General Solutions and Phase Portraits
In each of Problems 1 through 6, find the general solution of the given system of equations. Also, draw a direction field and a phase portrait. Describe how the solutions behave as \( t \rightarrow \infty \).

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains a mathematical expression that appears to be a system of linear equations written in matrix form. Here is the transcription of the image:
---
**6.** \(\mathbf{x}' = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & \frac{1}{2} \\ -\frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix} \mathbf{x}\)
---
Explanation:
- \(\mathbf{x}'\) and \(\mathbf{x}\) are vectors, indicating that this is a transformation of the vector \(\mathbf{x}\) to the vector \(\mathbf{x}'\).
- The matrix \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 & \frac{1}{2} \\ -\frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix}\) is a 2x2 matrix that represents the linear transformation applied to the vector \(\mathbf{x}\).
In this transformation:
- The first element of \(\mathbf{x}'\) is calculated as \(2x_1 + \frac{1}{2}x_2\), where \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) are the components of the vector \(\mathbf{x}\).
- The second element of \(\mathbf{x}'\) is calculated as \(-\frac{1}{2}x_1 + x_2\).
This type of matrix equation is common in linear algebra and is used to describe various linear transformations such as rotations, scaling, and shearing in vector space.
