Question #1: Consider the continuous-time signal

(
4 if − 1 ≤ t ≤ 1
x(t) =
0 if otherwise

(a) (2 pts) Sketch x(t). Remember to label your vertical-axis, label your horizontal-axis,
and mark important horizontal- and vertical-values.

(b) (2 pts) Is the signal causal, anti-causal, or neither?

(c) (2 pts) Is the signal even, odd, or neither?

(d) (2 pts) Is the signal periodic? If yes, what is the period?

1
 (e) (2 pts) Is x(t) an energy signal? If yes, compute the energy of x(t).

Question #2: Consider the signal x[n] = cos(4n), where n = · · · , −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, · · ·.

(a) (2 pts) Is the signal continuous-time or discrete-time?

(b) (2 pts) What is the dimension of x[n] (1-D or 2-D or something else)?

(c) (2 pts) Is the signal causal, anti-causal, or neither?

(d) (2 pts) Is the signal even, odd, or neither?

(e) (2 pts) Is the signal periodic? If yes, what is the period?
