Homework Statement



Compute Y(t).


Homework Equations



Y(s)= (s(2s+11)+ω(8s+4ω^2))/((s^2+ω^2)(s+9)(s+2))

The Attempt at a Solution



(s(2s+11)+ω(8s+4ω^2 ))/((s^2+ω^2)(s+9)(s+2))= A/(s^2+ω^2 )+B/(s+9)+C/(s+2)

Every example I have looked at does not have the ω variable, but I am not sure that is the problem.

This is a problem from a lab for a signals and systems course. The problem starts by giving h(t) =[cos 2t + 4 sin 2t]u(t), and asking for the impulse response. Then an input of x(t) = (5/7)(e^-t)-(12/7)(e^-8t) is provided. The output response is then calculated, and that is where this question picks up.

Thank you for any assistance.

The numerator of the first fraction should be of the form As+B because the denominator is a quadratic.

I assume X(s) and H(s) are supposed to be the Laplace transforms for the given x(t) and h(t). If so, you need to recalculate X(s) as it isn't correct.

ω is a constant. It's the frequency in the cosine and sine terms, so you can set it to 2 in H(s).

I am guessing that the mistake made with the X(s) and H(s) terms is that I simplified and ended up with unfavorable numerators. I am going to try using :

H(s)=1/(s+ω^2 )+4/(s^2+ω)
X(s)=1/(s+2)+1/(s+9)

and calculate from there.

Is this correct?

Thank you.

I edited my first post a couple of times after I first submitted it, so you may want to reread it.

Your original H(s) was correct. You just have to set ω=2. It's the angular frequency which appears in the terms of x(t).

X(s), however, remains a mystery. I'm not sure how you're getting 1/(s+2) and 1/(s+9) terms in it.

It turns out if you get X(s) and H(s) correct, the algebra simplifies a lot, and you should find it relatively easy to find y(t).
 
Thanks.
The X(s) comes from the formula that was given in the assignment.
x(t)=(5/7)(e^-t)-(12/7)(e^-8t)

When I was writing my explanation, I think I found an error. I will post back.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
