SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the complex frequency S from the function g(t) = [4e^(-2t) - e^(-t)]cos(4t - 95°). The user successfully derived the complex frequencies as s1 = -2 + j4, s2 = -2 - j4, s3 = -1 + j4, and s4 = -1 - j4. Despite initial confusion regarding the non-standard form of the results, the user confirmed the accuracy of their findings. This analysis is crucial for understanding the behavior of the system described by the given function.

Complex Frequency S, S* and S1, S1*?

Homework Statement


Figure out what the complex frequency S is.
g(t)=[4e^(-2t)-e^(-t)]cos(4t-95degree)

Homework Equations


v(t)=K1e^(s1t)+K2e^(s2t)

The Attempt at a Solution


I got,
v(t)=K1e^s1 + K1e^s2 - K2e^s3 - K2e^s4
Which looks very messy.

Turns out it gives me,
s1=-2+j4, s2=-2-j4, s3=-1+j4 and s4=-1-j4
Which is not a standard form, and I have no idea how to handle four terms...

Much appreciate any inputs!:-p
