2.2 For the signal x2 (t ) in Figure P2.1 (b) plot the following signals

a. x2 (t − 3)

b. x2 (−t )

c. x2 (2t )

d. x2 (3 − 2t )

Solution:

2.4 Determine whether the following signals are periodic. For periodic signals,
determine the fundamental period.

a. x1 (t ) = sin(π t ) + 5cos(4π t / 5)

Solution:

2π
sin(π t ) is periodic with period T1 = = 2 . cos(4π t / 5) is periodic with period
π
2π 5 T
T2 = = . x1 (t ) is periodic if the ratio 1 can be written as ratio of
4π / 5 2 T2
integers. In the present case,

T1 2 × 2 4
= =
T2 5 5

pale, and the covring that these lovers had was the clouted
cloak an pale, I, 305, 12: a derivation from Lat. pallium,
coverlet, cloak, O. Fr. paile, palle, has been suggested, and as
to meaning would suit; but if the word were popular it should
be heard of elsewhere. Possibly an error for fale, turf, which
is the bed-covering in F 6, p. 304; though the combination
with cloak would be strange.
palle, pale, paule, pa, I, 68, 7; 333, 1; II, 139, 4; 256, L 4;

paramour, I, 68, 4; 70, 4: in A 4, the word, coming between
bouted flour and baken bread, should signify something
eatable; B has attempted to make easy sense by inserting the.
Paramour as lover, lady-love, in the honest sense occurs II,
86, 19, 21; 412, 2; V, 182, 7. the love was like paramour, II,
407, 8: like amorous passion (?). Quite unintelligible in II,
409, 4, a red rose flower, was set about with white lilies, like
to the paramour; again, 410, 2.

appear to be meant for apparent, but we have his parand and
his heir, in 2. There is more ignorance of the meaning of

pinned. See pin, v.
penny-brown, III, 281, 10: brown as a penny. penny-gray, III,
281, 8, at best would mean gray as a silver penny; but silver is
called white money. It is just possible that the word is
legitimate, and that, penny-brown being understood as very
brown, penny-gray might come into use for very gray.
Possibly penny-brown (gray) might mean dappled with brown
(gray) spots.

twirld at the pin, IV, 390, b 4. lifted, lifted up the pin, II, 104,
14; IV, 391, 3; 415, 6. “The pin was always inside, hung by a
latch, or leather point, the end of which was drawn through a
small hole in the door to the outside. During the day-time, the
pin was attached to a bar or sneck in such a way that when the
latch was pulled the door was free to open. But at night the
pin was disconnected from the door-fastening and hung loose,
so that when the latch was pulled the pin rattled.” W. Forbes.

pin, III, 105, 12; rappit at the pin, I, 472, 17; chapped at the
pin, I, 481, 29, are probably corrupted from knocked, etc., at
the ring (and so, tinkled at the pin, II, 253, 3); if not, the
meaning must be, knocked at the door at the place of the
latch. that so priuilye knowes the pinn, I, 433, 25, implies that
there was some secret connected with the pin (like, knew not
the gin, IV, 446 b, 3), which it is difficult to conceive in an
arrangement so simple as that described above; but it is
probable that complications were employed by the cautious.
See gin.

Pirie, in Pirie’s chair you’ll sit, the lowest seat o hell: I, 429,
30, 31. For the derivation Sir W. D. Geddes suggests as
possible le pire, which would be in the way of the Scottish “ill
chiel.” Professor Cappen writes: “Familiar name in doggerel
lines recited by boys in their games. One boy stood back
against the wall, another bent towards him with his head on
the pit of the other’s stomach; a third sat upon the back of the
second. The boy whose head was bent down had to guess how
many fingers the rider held up. The first asked the question in
doggerel rhyme in which Pirie, or Pirie’s chair, or hell, was
the doom threatened for a wrong answer. I remember Pirie
(pron. Peerie) distinctly in connection with the doom. Pirie’s
chair probably indicates the uncomfortable position of the
second boy (or fourth, for there may have been a fourth who
crouched uncomfortably on the ground below the boy
bending), whose head or neck was confined in some way and
squeezed after a wrong answer.”

pith, hammer o the, II, 374, B 2: sounds like nonsense. The
smith’s anvil being of gold and his bellows-cords of silk, his
hammer should be of some precious material. To say his
hammer was wielded with force would be out of keeping, and
very flat at best.
