SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the response of an LTIC system defined by the transfer function H(s) = (s + 2) / (s² + 5s + 4) to the input 5*cos(2t + 30 degrees). The user calculated H(jw) = (jw + 2) / (4 - w² + j5w) and derived the magnitude and phase of H(jw). The error occurred when evaluating the phase angle at w = 2, leading to an incorrect interpretation of arctan infinity. The user ultimately recognized that arctan infinity equals π/2, correcting their approach to the problem.
