ship of the output y(t) of this LTI system and its input x(t). Also find the expression
for the output y(t) of this LTI system. (10 marks)

the Excel file that has been sent to you in the same email. The signal x(t) is a multi-
component signal. By using the spectrum, identify the frequencies of the sinusoidal
components contained in x(t). You may use MATLAB for this purpose. If you use
MATLAB, include a plot of the spectrum in your answer. Your answer should also
clearly state the steps you have taken to find the spectrum. You may assume the
sampling interval to be 1/1000 seconds. (10 marks)
