D. Diagonal
Answer:A
A closed form solution of the state space equations is easily obtained when the system matrix F is:
A. Transpose B. Symmetric C. Identity D. Diagonal
Explanation: A closed form solution of the state space equations is easily obtained when the system matrix F is diagonal. Hence, by finding a matrix P so that F1=PFP-1 is diagonal, the solution of the state equations is simplified considerably.
