Hi,
but the right hand side is not evaluated and the symbolic
expression MatrixExp[A t].{b1,0,0} is a singel expression and
not a list of three expressions.
If you have a fixed value for t you can comput the vector on the
right hand side.
You definition should be
x[i_Integer][t_?NumericQ]:=Part[MatrixExp[A t].{b1, 0, 0},i]
Regards
