### Linear Differential Equations

Consider the vectors \( x^{(1)}(t) = \begin{pmatrix} t \\ 10 \end{pmatrix} \) and \( x^{(2)}(t) = \begin{pmatrix} t^2 \\ 8t \end{pmatrix} \).

#### (a) Compute the Wronskian of \( x^{(1)} \) and \( x^{(2)} \).

\[ W = \begin{vmatrix} t & t^2 \\ 10 & 8t \end{vmatrix} = \boxed{} \]

#### (b) In what intervals are \( x^{(1)} \) and \( x^{(2)} \) linearly independent?

\[ D = ( \boxed{} , \boxed{} ) \cup ( \boxed{} , \boxed{} ) \]

#### (c) What conclusion can be drawn about coefficients in the system of homogeneous differential equations satisfied by \( x^{(1)} \) and \( x^{(2)} \)?

\[ \text{Choose one} \]
\[ \text{of the coefficients of the ODE in standard form must be discontinuous at } t_0 = \boxed{} \]

#### (d) Find the system of equations \( \mathbf{x}' = P(t)\mathbf{x} \).

\[ P(t) = \begin{pmatrix} \boxed{} & \boxed{} \\ \boxed{} & \boxed{} \end{pmatrix} \]

### Explanation of the Graphs and Diagrams

There are no graphical elements present in this problem. The given mathematical expressions involve vectors, determinants for the Wronskian, and a matrix for the system of differential equations.

This problem requires the computation of the Wronskian to determine the linear independence of two vector functions and the subsequent formulation of a system of differential equations. The intervals of linear independence are determined based on the values of \( t \) which can be identified from the Wronskian's computation.
