Question 1

What is the main limitation of the Fourier transform?

  • It can only analyze periodic functions.
  • It requires functions to be integrable over the entire real line.
  • It cannot be used to solve differential equations.

💡 Hint: Think about the properties of integrable functions.

Question 2

True or False: Laplace transforms can handle functions that are not absolutely integrable over (-∞, ∞).

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the time domains of these functions.
