All questions from chapter 2 of the textbook.

• Questions 1 (a) and (b). For (b) use integration by parts.

• Question 2.

• Question 3 (a) and (b). Answers:

1 −7t
– (a) x(t) = 53 (−35e + 35 cos 2t + 10 sin 2t)
18 1 3 −4t −2t
– (b) x(t) = − 65 cos 3t − 65 sin 3t − 10 e + 15
26 e

• Questions 12 and 14. These questions require the use of Matlab. First go through the section on
chapter 2 in Appendix B. Then complete these questions. Submit a print-out of your code and output
for each question (try not to use too much paper).
