3. You are given an input signal x3(t), and two different filters; a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter. The input signal x3(t) is filtered with each of these two filters, and the two outputs are plotted below. Is Filter A a low-pass or a high-pass filter? Is Filter B a low-pass or a high-pass filter? Explain. x3(t) Output of Filter A 1 1
