Question from Katherine Mathews
I have a general question... When finding a real solution from a complex solution, do you only need to use one of the eigen-vectors? Each example that was done in class, you only completed the real solution from one eigen-vector and I am not sure if that was done for time sake or if that is the complete solution. If the complete solution can be determined from one eigen-vector complex eigen-vector, does it matter which one you pick?
