Problem 1: For the LTIC (linear time invariant causal) system governed by
d2 y
dy
+ 6y(t) = 0
+5
dt2
dt
(a) Find the characteristic polynomial, characteristic equation, characteristic roots and characteristic
modes of this system.
0 = 1.
(a) Find y0 (t), the zero input response, if the initial conditions are y0 (0) = 2 and y(0)
Problem 2: Repeat Problem 1 if
d2 y
dy
+4
+ 4y(t) = 0
dt2
dt
with y0 (0) = 3 and y 0 (0) = 4.
Problem 3: Repeat Problem 1 if
d2 y dy
+
=0
dt2
dt
with y0 (0) = y 0 (0) = 1.
Problem 4: Repeat Problem 1 if
d2 y
+ 9y(t) = 0
dt2
with y0 (0) = 0 and y 0 (0) = 6.
Problem 5: With h(t) and r(t) as the unit impulse response and the input to an LTIC system,
respectively, find the zero state response if
(a) r(t) = eat u(t), h(t) = ebt u(t)
(b) r(t) = u(t), h(t) = [2e3t e2t ]u(t)
(c) r(t) = tu(t), h(t) = u(t)
(d) r(t) = sin(t)u(t), h(t) = u(t)
(e) r(t) = cos(t)u(t), h(t) = u(t)
