Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given X(s) = (4s + 8)/(s^2 + 4s + 4), apply the PFE method to find the coefficients and perform the inverse Laplace Transform.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Pay attention to repeated roots during decomposition.

Question 2

For the function X(s) = (s^2 + 2s + 5)/(s^2 + 4), determine the PFE considering complex poles, and calculate the inverse transform.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to handle the complex conjugate poles as a single quadratic expression.
