  1. The impulse response of an initially relaxed linear system is e– 2t u(t). To produce a response of t e–2t u (t), the input must be equal to—
    1. 2e– t u(t)
    2. 1/2e–2t u(t)
    3. e–2t u(t)
    4. e–t u(t)
Correct Option: D

Given
y (t) = e– 2t u(t)
then

Y(s) =
1
s + 2

and R (s) = 1 (for impulse input)
so,
H(s) =
Y(s)
=
1
=
1
R(s)S + 2/1s + 2

Now, for
y(t) = te – 2t u(t)
then
Y(s) =
1
(s + 2)2

so,
X(s) =
Y(s)
=
1/(s + 2)2
=
1
H(s)1/S + 2s + 2

or
x (t) = e–2tu(t)
