Homework Statement


Given transfer function H(s)=s^2+4 and input x(t)=sin(2t), find the ouput y(t) in time domain, and show whether bounded or unbounded.

Okay, so I know L^{-1}[sin(2t)]=2/(s^2+4)=2/[(s+j2)(s-j2)]

and that Y(s)=H(s)X(s)=2

Therefore, y(t)=2\delta{(t)}

However, I am a little bit confused as to how I should show if it is bounded or unbounded.

Is the delta function bounded?
 
I believe it is. However, this question seems rather simple considering the professor stated it was "tricky".
 
What's your definition of bounded?
 
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...
