50 Proof by checking

so again by frame 28

X⁢(w)-exp⁡(w⁢A)⁢X0=∫0wexp⁡((w-t)⁢A)⁢U⁢(t)⁢𝑑t.

∙ To check the solution works, let t=0 to get X⁢(0)=X0. Then we apply standard results of calculus, and work on one entry of the matrix at a time. So by the fundamental theorem of calculus, X is a differentiable function of t, with derivative

dd⁢t⁢X=A⁢exp⁡(t⁢A)⁢X0+e0⁢U⁢(t)+∫0tA⁢exp⁡(t-s)⁢A⁢U⁢(s)⁢𝑑s
=A⁢X+U.
