Question 1 (5 marks)
The phase of a sinusoidal signal can be related to time shift and defined as follows:
𝑥(𝑡) = 𝐴 cos(2𝜋𝑓0 𝑡 + 𝜙) = 𝐴 cos(2𝜋𝑓0 (𝑡 − 𝑡1 ))
Given that the period of the signal is 𝑇0 = 12 sec, justify whether each of the
following statements is True or False.
𝜋
a. “When 𝑡1 = −3 sec, the value of phase is 𝜙 = 2 ”.
𝜋
b. “When 𝑡1 = 2 sec, the value of phase is 𝜙 = 3 ”.
𝜋
c. “When 𝑡1 = 10 sec, the value of phase is 𝜙 = 3 ”.

Question 2 (5 marks)
Suppose an analog signal 𝑥(𝑡) is defined as
𝜋 𝜋
𝑥(𝑡) = 2 sin (180𝜋𝑡 + 4 ) + 4 cos (180𝜋𝑡 + 4 ).
By using phasor addition, express 𝑥(𝑡) in the form: 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝐴 cos(𝜔𝑡 + 𝜙), where
𝐴 > 0, 𝜔 > 0, and −𝜋 < 𝜙 ≤ 𝜋 .
