A 2×22\times 2 matrix AA satisfies A(13)=−2(13)A\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\end{pmatrix} = -2\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\end{pmatrix}. The vector function x(t)\mathbf{x}(t) solves x′=Ax\mathbf{x}' = A\mathbf{x} with x(0)=(13)\mathbf{x}(0) = \begin{pmatrix}1\\3\end{pmatrix}. Find the second component of x(ln⁡3)\mathbf{x}(\ln 3).
