Question 1

What are initial conditions primarily used for in system analysis?

  • To determine output under steady-state
  • To find unique solutions to differential equations
  • To adjust input signals

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider why we need multiple initial conditions.

Question 2

Does the zero-input response depend on external inputs?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: What happens to the system when no inputs are present?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A certain linear system has initial conditions of y(0) = 2, y'(0) = 0, and is subjected to a step input function. Calculate both the zero-input and zero-state responses and find the total response.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the calculations into homogeneous system behavior and then add the effects of the step input.

Question 2

Design a scenario where the zero-state response can be observed in a physical process and explain its significance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the system behaves with no prior energy!
