Question 1

What does the Laplace Transform primarily achieve in solving differential equations?

  • Transforms them into algebraic equations
  • Makes them more complex
  • Halves the number of equations

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the primary goal of using the transform.

Question 2

True or False: The zero-input response is the output linked only to the input.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what zero-input indicates.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a second-order LCCDE with the input being a unit step and initial conditions of y(0)=2 and y'(0)=0, solve for y(t) using Laplace Transforms.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on taking the Laplace of the first and second derivatives.

Question 2

A temperature control system can be described by a second-order differential equation with damping. Validate the presence of damping by analyzing the poles in the s-domain after finding H(s).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the principle that poles in the left half-plane mean a damped response.
