Determine whether the zero state is a stable equilibrium of the dynamical system

In general, the zero state of a dynamical system of the form xt+1=Axt
x

=
A

t
is a stable equilibrium when all of the eigenvalues of A
A
are inside the unit circle in the complex plane. So if you have an eigenvalue of the form a+bi
a
+
b

, you get stability when a2+b2<1

. Since this is a homework question, I'll let you work out the rest of the problem from here. (This isn't going to be equivalent to solving −1−30k‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√<8

, though.)

Distance^2= yellow line ^2 (see picture) = 30^2 + 49^2so distance = squareroot of (300^2 +49^2)i dont know if this is how to solve it, but i cnt think of another way
