5) (20 Marks) [Laplace Transform] We are given the following Þve facts about a real signal (!) with
Laplace transform "(#) :
a) "(#) has exactly two poles.
b) "(#) has no zeros in the Þnite # plane.
c) "(#) has a pole at # = 1 + $%
d) &2 (!) is not absolutely integrable.
e) "(0) = 8%
Determine "(#) and specify its region of convergence.
