and
$|x\left(t\right)|=\left({x}_{1}^{2}\left(t\right)+{x}_{2}^{2}\left(t\right)+{x}_{3}^{2}\left(t\right){\right)}^{1/2}$
Then any solution of the first order system of the ordinary differential equation

1. $\underset{t\to \mathrm{\infty }|x\left(t\right)|=0}{lim}$
2. $\underset{t\to \mathrm{\infty }|x\left(t\right)|=\mathrm{\infty }}{lim}$
3. $\underset{t\to \mathrm{\infty }|x\left(t\right)|=2}{lim}$
4. $\underset{t\to \mathrm{\infty }|x\left(t\right)|=12}{lim}$

Since −2 is the only eigenvalue of $A$, the general solution of ${x}^{\prime }\left(t\right)=Ax\left(t\right)$ has the form
$x\left(t\right)={e}^{-2t}\left({c}_{1}{v}_{1}\left(t\right)+{c}_{2}{v}_{2}\left(t\right)+{c}_{3}{v}_{3}\left(t\right)$
where ${c}_{1}$,${c}_{2}$ and ${c}_{3}$ are constants and ${v}_{j}\left(t\right)$ is a vector in ${\mathbb{R}}^{3}$ whose coordinates are polynomials with grade $\le j-1$.
Hence $|x\left(t\right)|\to 0$ for $t\to \mathrm{\infty }$.
