1.

Determine the Laplace transform and the associated region of convergence and pole-zero plot for
each of the following functions of time:
a. = !!! + !!!
b. = !!! + !!! (5)
c. = !! + !!
d. = te!!|!|

2.

Consider an LTI system for which the system function H(s) has the pole-zero pattern shown
below:

a.
b.

Indicate all possible ROCs that can be associated with the pole-zero pattern.
For each ROC identified in part (a), specify whether the associated system is stable
and/or causal.

a.

Given the circuit below, draw its equivalent representation in the Laplace domain.

4.

b. Suppose that ! = !!! . Use Laplace transform to determine vo(t) for t>0.
c. Draw the Bode plot of your answer in (b).
Consider an LTI system with input = !! and impulse response = !!! .
