  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Given ∫– ∞ e– 2t s′(t)dt
    By applying the property of impulse function

    – ∞ f(t) s′(t)dt = –
    d
    f(t )|at t = 0
    dt

    = –
    d
    e– 2t |at, t = 0
    dt

    = – (– 2)e– 2t | at, t = 0
    = 2·e– 2·0 = 2
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: C

    Given ∫– ∞ e– 2t s′(t)dt
    By applying the property of impulse function

    – ∞ f(t) s′(t)dt = –
    d
    f(t )|at t = 0
    dt

    = –
    d
    e– 2t |at, t = 0
    dt

    = – (– 2)e– 2t | at, t = 0
    = 2·e– 2·0 = 2
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.


  1. The causal systems is/are—
    (i) y(n) = x2(n) u(n)
    (ii) y(n) = x(|n|)
    (iii) y(n) = x(n) – x(n2 – n)
    N
    (iv) y(n) =x(n – k)
    k = 1

    Given
    (i) y(n) = x2(n) u(n)
    This system is causal for any value of n.
    (ii) y(n) = x(|n|) If we put any negative value of n, say n = – 2, we get
    y(– 2) = x(|– 2|) = x(2)
    i.e., output depends on the future value of input.
    Hence, this system is non-causal.
    (iii) y(n) = x(n) – x(n2 – n)
    This system is causal for n = 1, 2 and non-causal for values other than 0, 1 and 2.
    Let n = 3, we get
    y(3) = x(3) – x(32 – 3)
    y(3) = x(3) – x(6)
    which is non-causal

    N
    (iv) y(n) =x(n – k)
    k = 1

    Since, the limit of k is positive, therefore, this system is causal for any value of k.
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    Given
    (i) y(n) = x2(n) u(n)
    This system is causal for any value of n.
    (ii) y(n) = x(|n|) If we put any negative value of n, say n = – 2, we get
    y(– 2) = x(|– 2|) = x(2)
    i.e., output depends on the future value of input.
    Hence, this system is non-causal.
    (iii) y(n) = x(n) – x(n2 – n)
    This system is causal for n = 1, 2 and non-causal for values other than 0, 1 and 2.
    Let n = 3, we get
    y(3) = x(3) – x(32 – 3)
    y(3) = x(3) – x(6)
    which is non-causal

    N
    (iv) y(n) =x(n – k)
    k = 1

    Since, the limit of k is positive, therefore, this system is causal for any value of k.
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    sin at cos bt can be written as

    =
    1
    {sin (a + b)t + sin (a – b)t}
