PS: You have the freedom to work in a group (max 3 students) or to submit your individual report. I highly
recommend that you solve these problems personally.

Problem 1:
Sketch each of the following signals. For each case, show that if the signal is periodic/aperiodic and whether
it is even or odd or neither. If the signal is periodic specify its fundamental period.
