A system of differential equations can be created for two masses connected by springs between one another, 

A system of differential equations can be created for two masses connected by springs between one another, and connected to opposing walls. The dependent variables form a 4x 1 vector y consisting of the displacement and velocity of each of the two masses. For the system y' Ay, the matrix A is given by: 0 0 -37 35 0 1 0 0 0 1 35 -12 0 -37 0 -12 Because the system oscillates, there will be complex eigenvalues. Find the eigenvalue associated with the following eigenvector. -5i 5i 30 + 30i -30-30i
