Problem 1 (8 points): Simplify the following expressions:
$
(a) !𝑒 !"# cos &3𝑡 − % *+ 𝛿(𝑡)
&'((*#) &'((*#)
(b) & #
* 𝛿(𝑡)(Hint: Use L’Hopital’s rule on #
)
,
(c) ∫!,(𝑡 % + 4)𝛿(1 − 𝑡)𝑑𝑡
, $
(d) ∫!, 𝑒 -!. cos ! " (𝑥 − 5)+ 𝛿(𝑥 − 3)𝑑𝑥
Problem 2 (5 points):
In class, we have showed that 𝑓(𝑡) ∗ 𝛿(𝑡) = 𝑓(𝑡). Plese Show that 𝑓(𝑡) ∗ 𝛿(𝑡 − 𝑇) = 𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑇)
Problem 3 (10 Points):
For a linear time-invariant (LTI) system with input 𝑥(𝑡) and output 𝑦(𝑡).
(a) If the input is a impulse signal 𝛿(𝑡), the system produces an output
𝑒 !/# 𝑢(𝑡)
where 𝑢(𝑡) is the unit step function. What is the impulse response ℎ(𝑡) of the system?
(b) Find the system’s response y(t) if the input x(t) is 𝑒 !# 𝑢(𝑡). Basically, you need to
evaluate 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡) ∗ ℎ(𝑡). Using the graphical method you learned in class. Can you
sketch the resulting function ℎ(𝑡)?
Problem 4 (10 Points):
Repeat Problem 3(b) if the input is changed to
𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑒 !/# [𝑢(𝑡 − 1) − 𝑢(𝑡 − 3)]
0 𝑡<1
?Ans: 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡) ∗ ℎ(𝑡) = D𝑒 !/# (𝑡 − 1) 1 ≤ 𝑡 < 3I
2𝑒 !/# 3≤𝑡
Problem 5 (10 Points):
Consider a continuous-time linear time-invariant (LTI) system.
- When the input to this system is 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑒 !/#0% 𝑢(𝑡 − 4), the output is 𝑦(𝑡).
1-(#)
- When the input is 1# , the output is −2𝑦(𝑡) + 𝑒 !# 𝑢(𝑡)
Find the impulse response ℎ(𝑡) of this system. {Ans: ℎ(𝑡) = 𝑒 !(#!.) 𝑢(𝑡 + 4)}

Problem 6 (10 Points): Derive differential equation describing the motion of the mass 1 and 2
in the following two degrees-of-freedom mass-spring-damper system. Show Free-body
diagram for each one of the masses.
Note that in the diagram, 𝑓(𝑡) is the external input into the system. 𝑥. and 𝑥/ represent the
motion of the masses, which are the outputs or responses of the system.
