A linear system is described by the differential equation
y′′′(t)−y′′(t)−2y′(t)+2y(t)=f(t),
with initial conditions
y(0)=0,y′(0)=1,y′′(0)=1
The Laplace transform of f(t) is defined as
L[f(t)]=f~(s)=∫0∞e−stf(t)dt
You may assume the following Laplace transforms,
L[y(t)]L[y′(t)]L[y′′(t)]L[y′′′(t)]=y~(s)=sy~(s)−y(0)=s2y~(s)−sy(0)−y′(0)=s3y~(s)−s2y(0)−sy′(0)−y′′(0)
(a) Use Laplace transforms to determine the response, y1(t), of the system to the signal
f(t)=−2
(b) Determine the response, y2(t), given that its Laplace transform is
y~2(s)=s2(s−1)21.
(c) Given that
y′′′(t)−y′′(t)−2y′(t)+2y(t)=g(t)
leads to the response with Laplace transform
y~(s)=s2(s−1)21,
determine g(t).
