1. Using residue method for partial fraction expansion, find the signals whose Laplace
transforms are given by:
2s
a) X(s) = (s+2)(s−2)
2s+1
b) X(s) = s2 (s+1)2
s3 +2s2 +2s+5
c) X(s) = s2 (s2 +2s+5)
4s−8
d) X(s) = (s2 +4)2
.
s2 + 4
X(s) =
s3 (s2 + 2s + 5)2
Give the form of x(t) that would result from a partial fraction expansion. Express
the signal as a linear combination of time functions, but do not solve for the
coefficients themselves.
b) Repeat (a) but for:
s−1
X(s) =
(s + 2)4 (s
− 3)3 (s + 4)
3. For the signals whose Laplace transforms are given below, indicate whether the signals
are bounded and, if so, whether limt→∞ x(t) exists. If the limit exists, give its value.
Do not invert the Laplace transforms to obtain the results.

a) X(s) = (s2 +1)10
.
(s−1)
b) X(s) = s(s+2)

c) X(s) = s2 (s+2)

d) X(s) = s(s+1)2
2(s−1)
e) X(s) = (s2 +2s+1)(s+3)
2(s−1)
f) X(s) = (s2 +2s+2)(s+3)
2(s−1)
g) X(s) = (s2 +2s+2)2 (s+3)

b) An input x(t) = sin(2t) is applied to a system with transfer function:
s−1
P (s) =
s(s2 + 4s + 8)3 (s2 + 4)
List all the functions that appear in the partial fraction expansion of Y (s), without
calculating the coefficients of the expansion. Express the result in terms of real
functions, and indicate which functions must have nonzero coefficients.
c) Give the real time function x(t) whose transform is:
1 + 2j 1 − 2j
X(s) = 3
+
(s + 2 + 3j) (s + 2 − 3j)3
