HELP Impulse Response h(t) problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the impulse response h(t) for various differential equations involving y(t) and x(t). Participants clarify that to find h(t), one should input an impulse function x(t) = delta(t) and use the Laplace transform to derive y(t), which equals h(t). There is confusion regarding multiple-choice options provided for y(t), with some contributors suggesting that the original question may not align with the multiple-choice format. The importance of showing work and understanding the relationship between y(t) and h(t) is emphasized, along with the need to focus on continuous systems rather than discrete ones. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in problem statements and the correct application of impulse response concepts.

HELP! Impulse Response h(t) problem

Please help me solve this problem. Atleast the correct answer indication is also very much appreciated.
Compute the impulse response h(t) for (dy(t))/dt -4y(t)=x(t)
a. y(t) = e^4t
b. y(t) = 1- e^4t
c. y(t) = e^-4t
d. y(t) = 1- e^-4t
Compute the impulse response h(t)for (dy(t)/dt -y(t)=dx(t)/dt-2x(t)
a. y(t) = e^-2t
b. y(t) = -e^t + delta(lamda)
c. y(t) = e^-t - delta(lamda)
d. y(t) = 1- e^-2t
Compute the impulse response h(t) for (dy(t)/dt +4y(t)=x(t)
a. y(t) = e^4t
b. y(t) = 1- e^4t
c. y(t) = e^-4t
d. y(t) = 1- e^-4t

Thanks for your kindness, time and effort.

hi raihan.
I'm not sure why you are given y(t) values?
if you asked to calculate the impulse response of a system say for eample the first onc - you merely make x(t) = delta(t) (i.e. you are inputting an impulse function). You then take the laplace transform of this new expression. You then make Y(s) the subjsect of the formula. Then take the inverse lablace of this which will yield y(t) which is actaully eqaul to h(t). Remember y(t) = h(t) only when we put an mipulse function in the systm - as in this case.

I 've just realized that this probably multiple choice and you must choose the correct option?? if it's not then it doesn't make sense.

Yeah that's right. is multiple choice. And I have to choose the correct option.would you help me please now. Thanks a bunch.

What are your answers so far, and why do you think they are correct? You must show your own work in order to get our help.
 
An alternate solution for what LM741 suggested is to calculate the step response s(t) and differentiate it.
 
Generally in impulse response we replaceY[n] with h[n] and x[n] with delta[n] and put different values for n and find the values for the values for h[n]. first we re arrange the equation for h[n] and then find it. but after finding those values what should I do ? I am stuck right there.please help.

The question you presented asks for the impulse response of a continuous system. There is no sense to mention h[n] or x[n].
