1. A system is described by its input-output characteristic

y=ax+b
where y is the output signal
x is the input signal (5 marks)
a, b are real constants
State whether the system is linear or not. Explain your answer using the
properties of linearity.

2. Find the inverse Laplace transform of the following function

15e −3 s
G (s) = 2 (7 marks)
( s + 4 s + 4)(s + 5)

3. Find the Laplace transform of the following time functions (Use theorems
where applicable)

i) f1(t)=3e-2t .u(t)+4sin3(t-2).u(t-2) (5 marks)

ii) f2(t)

0
1 2 t

-1

4. Solve the following differential equations by means of the Laplace transform

d 2 y (t ) dy(t )
2
+5 + 6 y (t ) = e −t
dt dt (7 marks)
y (0) = 0 y (0) = 2
