# Linear systems and their properties

Before diving into solving state space problems using control theory, it is essential to understand linear systems and their properties. Linear systems are mathematical models that describe the relationship between input and output variables. They are represented by a set of linear equations and are used to model various physical phenomena.

Consider a simple linear system with one input variable $u$ and one output variable $y$. The system can be described by the following equation:

$$y = Ku$$

where $K$ is a constant. In this case, the system is said to be in steady-state, as the output does not depend on time.

## Exercise
Define a linear system with two input variables $u_1$ and $u_2$ and one output variable $y$. Write down the equation that describes the system.

In addition to steady-state systems, linear systems can also be time-varying. These systems are described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and are used to model dynamic phenomena.

Consider a first-order ODE:

$$\dot{y} = K(t)y + u(t)$$

where $\dot{y}$ denotes the derivative of $y$ with respect to time, $K(t)$ is a time-dependent constant, and $u(t)$ is the input function.

## Exercise
Solve the first-order ODE:

$$\dot{y} = K(t)y + u(t)$$

and find the general solution.

# Numerical methods for solving linear systems

To solve linear systems numerically, we can use various numerical methods. Some common methods include Gaussian elimination, LU decomposition, and the Conjugate Gradient method. These methods are particularly useful when dealing with large-scale systems.

Consider the following linear system:

$$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix}$$

Use Gaussian elimination to solve for $x_1$ and $x_2$.

## Exercise
Implement Gaussian elimination in Python to solve the linear system above.
