Due: Monday, 2012 February 6, 16:00pm Instructions: 1. Please ensure that your name and ID number are clearly written on your assignment. 2. Please submit your assignment before 16:00 pm on the due date. The assignment box is located in the ETLC Atrium (second floor), and is marked by E E 238 B1. Assignment Problems: 1. (10 points) (Lathi 2.2-3) An LTIC system is specified by the equation D(D + 1)y(t) = (D + 2)f (t). (a) Find the characteristic polynomial, characteristic equation, characteristic roots, and characteristic modes of this system. (b) Find y0 (t), the zero-input component of the response y(t) for t 0, if the initial conditions are y0 (0) = y0 (0) = 1. 2. (10 points) (Lathi 2.2-5) An LTIC system is specified by the equation (D2 + 4D + 13)y(t) = 4(D + 2)f (t). (a) Find the characteristic polynomial, characteristic equation, characteristic roots, and characteristic modes of this system. (b) Find y0 (t), the zero-input component of the response y(t) for t 0, if the initial conditions are y0 (0) = 5 and y0 (0) = 15.98. 3. (10 points) Calculate eat u(t)ebt u(t) for a = b (without using the convolution table on pp. 125 of the textbook). 4. (10 points) (Lathi 2.4-16 (g)) Find and sketch c(t) = f1 (t)f2 (t) for the pairs of functions below.
