3. Compute C = (P D)P −1 :

(d) Cayley-Hamilton Theorem for Aπ
We want to compute Aπ using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
1. Find the characteristic equation of A:
" #
4−λ 2
det(A − λI) = det
1 3−λ
= (4 − λ)(3 − λ) − (2)(1)
= 12 − 4λ − 3λ + λ2 − 2
= λ2 − 7λ + 10 = 0
The eigenvalues are the roots: (λ − 2)(λ − 5) = 0 =⇒ λ1 = 2, λ2 = 5.
2. Express Aπ using the theorem: Since A satisfies its characteristic equation (A2 −7A+10I =
0), any analytic function f (A) can be expressed as a polynomial in A of degree less than n = 2.
Here, f (λ) = λπ , so we write:
Aπ = αA + βI
The eigenvalues must also satisfy this relationship:
λπ1 = αλ1 + β =⇒ 2π = 2α + β
λπ2 = αλ2 + β =⇒ 5π = 5α + β

3. Solve the system for α and β: Subtracting the first equation from the second:
5π − 2π
5π − 2π = (5α − 2α) + (β − β) = 3α =⇒ α =

Substituting α back into the first equation:

 Q2: Numerical Methods Analysis
(a) Finding Extrema Points Using Newton-Raphson Method
Given the function F (x) = x sin x + ex . Extrema occur where F ′ (x) = 0. We need the first and
second derivatives:
d
F ′ (x) = (x sin x + ex ) = (1) sin x + x(cos x) + ex = sin x + x cos x + ex
dx
d
F ′′ (x) = (sin x + x cos x + ex ) = cos x + [(1) cos x + x(− sin x)] + ex = 2 cos x − x sin x + ex
dx
The Newton-Raphson iteration for finding roots of F ′ (x) is:

F ′ (xn )
xn+1 = xn −

Minimum in [-1, 0] (3 iterations)

Initial guess: x0 = −0.5. We need F ′ (xn ) and F ′′ (xn ) at each step.

fundamental frequency is ω0 = 2πT = 1.

(Note: The exact value of the integral is π, so a0 = 1. Simpson’s rule gives a good approximation.)

Using Simpson’s rule with n = 4, the DC component is approximated as:

a0 ≈ 1.0023

(b) Full Fourier Series Expansion

Since f (t) = t sin t is an even function (f (−t) = (−t) sin(−t) = (−t)(− sin t) = t sin t = f (t)), its
Fourier series contains only cosine terms (bn = 0 for all n).

 Q4: Convolution Using Laplace Transform
A system consists of two subsystems.

• Subsystem 1 step response: s1 (t) = e−3t (1 − t)u(t)

• Subsystem 2 impulse response: h2 (t) = sin(3t)u(t)

• Total impulse response: htotal (t) = h1 (t) + h2 (t)

• Relationship: h1 (t) = dt s1 (t)

d
(Impulse response is derivative of step response)

The input to the total system is x(t) = u(t) (unit step function). Find the output y(t).

Step 1: Derive Impulse Response h1 (t)

d −3t
h1 (t) = [e (1 − t)] = (−3e−3t )(1 − t) + (e−3t )(−1) = −3e−3t + 3te−3t − e−3t = (3t − 4)e−3t
dt
So, h1 (t) = (3t − 4)e−3t u(t).

Step 2: Find Total Impulse Response htotal (t)

htotal (t) = h1 (t) + h2 (t) = (3t − 4)e−3t u(t) + sin(3t)u(t)

Step 3: Find Transfer Function Htotal (s)

Take the Laplace transform of htotal (t):

Htotal (s) = L{htotal (t)} = L{(3t − 4)e−3t } + L{sin(3t)}

= 3L{te−3t } − 4L{e−3t } + L{sin(3t)}

Step 4: Calculate Output Y (s) in Laplace Domain

The input is x(t) = u(t), so X(s) = L{u(t)} = 1s . The output is Y (s) = X(s)Htotal (s).

Step 5: Partial Fraction Decomposition (PFD)

We decompose each term. Term 1: 3

• 3 = A(s + 3)2 + Bs(s + 3) + Cs. Equating s2 coeffs: 0 = A + B =⇒ B = −A = −1/3.

1/3 1/3
So, 3
s(s+3)2

Term 3: 3
s(s2 +9)
= As + Bs+C
s2 +9

• A= 3
s2 +9 s=0

9 = 1
3

• 3 = A(s2 + 9) + (Bs + C)s. Equating s2 coeffs: 0 = A + B =⇒ B = −A = −1/3.

Equating s coeffs: 0 = C.

So, s(s23+9) = 1/3 (1/3)s

s − s2 +9 .
Combine all terms for Y (s):

1/3 1/3 1 4/3 4/3 1/3 1/3s

Step 6: Inverse Laplace Transform

Find y(t) = L−1 {Y (s)}.

y(t) = L−1 {− } + L−1 { } − L−1 { } − L−1 { 2 }

3  3
2 −3t 1
= − + (1 − t)e − cos(3t) u(t)
3 3

The system output for input x(t) = u(t) is:

2 1
 
y(t) = − + (1 − t)e−3t − cos(3t) u(t)
3 3

Part (b): Total Step Response stotal (t)

The total step response is the integral of the total impulse response, or equivalently, the output
y(t) calculated above when the input is a unit step u(t).
Z t
stotal (t) = htotal (τ ) dτ = y(t)|x(t)=u(t)

Alternatively, integrate htotal (t):

Z
stotal (t) = [(3t − 4)e−3t + sin(3t)] dt

10
Integral of sin(3t) is − 13 cos(3t). Integral of (3t − 4)e−3t requires integration by parts: u dv =

3 3 3 3

Combining the integrals (and adding a constant of integration K):

1
stotal (t) = (1 − t)e−3t − cos(3t) + K
3
Since the step response should start at 0 for t = 0 (assuming causality and zero initial conditions
for the integration), we find K. stotal (0) = (1−0)e0 − 13 cos(0)+K = 1− 13 +K = 0 =⇒ K = − 23 .
Thus, the step response is stotal (t) = (1 − t)e−3t − 13 cos(3t) − 23 . This matches the result from
the Laplace transform method.

The total step response of the system is:

 Q5: Fourier Transform
Given the function f (t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ π and f (t) = 0 otherwise:
1
 
f (t) = 2 exp ln(4 cos2 t + 8t cos t + 4t2 )
2

Step 1: Simplify the Function f (t)

√
Using properties exp(ln(x)) = x and 1
2 ln(x) = ln( x):
 p 
f (t) = 2 exp ln 4 cos2 t + 8t cos t + 4t2
q
= 2 4(cos2 t + 2t cos t + t2 )
q
= 2 4(cos t + t)2
= 2 · 2| cos t + t|
For t ∈ [0, π], cos t ranges from 1 to -1. If t ∈ [0, π/2], cos t ≥ 0, so cos t + t > 0. If t ∈ (π/2, π],
cos t < 0. We need to check if cos t + t can be negative. Let g(t) = cos t + t. g ′ (t) = − sin t + 1.
Since sin t ≤ 1, g ′ (t) ≥ 0 for t ∈ [0, π]. The minimum value of g(t) occurs at t = 0, where
g(0) = cos 0 + 0 = 1. Therefore, cos t + t > 0 for all t ∈ [0, π]. So, | cos t + t| = cos t + t.
f (t) = 4(cos t + t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ π, and 0 otherwise.

(There seems to be a calculation error in the original prompt’s special cases). Let’s recheck
F (0) from the combined formula limit - requires careful L’Hopital. Direct integration is safer.
I1 (ω = 0) = 0π cos tdt = [sin t]π0 = 0. I2 (ω = 0) = π 2 /2. So F (0) = 4(0) + 4(π 2 /2) = 2π 2 .

 Q6: Inverse Laplace Transform
Find g(t) = L−1 {G(s)} where:

(s5 − 16s)(s + 4)
G(s) =
(s5 − 12s3 − 64s)(s3 − 64)

Step 1: Factorize Numerator and Denominator

Numerator N (s):

N (s) = (s5 − 16s)(s + 4) = s(s4 − 16)(s + 4)

= s(s2 − 4)(s2 + 4)(s + 4)
= s(s − 2)(s + 2)(s2 + 4)(s + 4)

Denominator D(s):

D(s) = (s5 − 12s3 − 64s)(s3 − 64)

√ √ √
= s(s4 − 12s2 − 64) · (s − 64)(s2 + 64s + ( 64)2 ) (Sum/diff of cubes)
3 3 3

= s(s − 12s − 64) · (s − 4)(s + 4s + 16)

4 2 2

√
12± 144−4(1)(−64)
Factor the quartic s4 − 12s2 − 64. Let u = s2 , then u2 − 12u − 64. Roots are 2 =
√ √
12± 144+256
2 = 12± 400
2 = 12±20
2 . So u = 16 or u = −4. Thus, s 4 − 12s2 − 64 = (s2 − 16)(s2 + 4) =
(s − 4)(s + 4)(s2 + 4). Substitute back into D(s):

D(s) = s[(s − 4)(s + 4)(s2 + 4)] · (s − 4)(s2 + 4s + 16)

= s(s − 4)2 (s + 4)(s2 + 4)(s2 + 4s + 16)

Simplify G(s):
s(s − 2)(s + 2)(s2 + 4)(s + 4)
G(s) =
s(s − 4)2 (s + 4)(s2 + 4)(s2 + 4s + 16)
Cancel common factors s, (s + 4), and (s2 + 4) (assuming s ̸= 0, −4 and s2 ̸= −4).

(s − 2)(s + 2) s2 − 4
G(s) = =
(s − 4)2 (s2 + 4s + 16) (s − 4)2 (s2 + 4s + 16)

Step 2: Partial Fraction Decomposition

We need to decompose:

s2 − 4 A B Cs + D
G(s) = = + + 2
(s − 4) (s + 4s + 16)
2 2 s − 4 (s − 4)2 s + 4s + 16
Multiply by the denominator:

s2 − 4 = A(s − 4)(s2 + 4s + 16) + B(s2 + 4s + 16) + (Cs + D)(s − 4)2

Find B (Heaviside cover-up for highest power): Set s = 4.

42 − 4 = A(0) + B(42 + 4(4) + 16) + (4C + D)(0)2

12 1
16 − 4 = B(16 + 16 + 16) =⇒ 12 = 48B =⇒ B = =
48 4
Equate coefficients: Expand the right side. s − 4 = A(s + 4s + 16s − 4s2 − 16s − 64) +
2 3 2

B(s2 + 4s + 16) + (Cs + D)(s2 − 8s + 16) s2 − 4 = A(s3 − 64) + B(s2 + 4s + 16) + (Cs3 − 8Cs2 +
16Cs + Ds2 − 8Ds + 16D) Group by powers of s:

14
 • s3 : 0 = A + C

• s2 : 1 = B − 8C + D

• s1 : 0 = 4B + 16C − 8D

• s0 : −4 = −64A + 16B + 16D

Substitute B = 1/4 and C = −A:

• 1 = 1/4 − 8(−A) + D =⇒ 1 = 1/4 + 8A + D =⇒ 3/4 = 8A + D (Eq 1)

• 0 = 4(1/4) + 16(−A) − 8D =⇒ 0 = 1 − 16A − 8D =⇒ 16A + 8D = 1 (Eq 2)

• −4 = −64A + 16(1/4) + 16D =⇒ −4 = −64A + 4 + 16D =⇒ −8 = −64A + 16D =⇒

−1 = −8A + 2D (Eq 3)

From (Eq 1), D = 3/4−8A. Substitute into (Eq 3): −1 = −8A+2(3/4−8A) = −8A+3/2−16A =
−24A + 3/2 −1 − 3/2 = −24A =⇒ −5/2 = −24A =⇒ A = 48 5
. Then C = −A = − 485
. And
D = 3/4 − 8(5/48) = 3/4 − 40/48 = 3/4 − 5/6 = (9 − 10)/12 = −1/12. Check with (Eq 2):
16(5/48) + 8(−1/12) = 5/3 − 8/12 = 5/3 − 2/3 = 3/3 = 1. Correct. So the decomposition is:

Solve the ODE with zero initial conditions (y(0) = 0, y ′ (0) = 0):

y ′′ + 2y ′ + 2y = e−t sin2 t + sin 2t + u(t)

Step 2: Take Laplace Transform of the ODE

Let Y (s) = L{y(t)} and F (s) = L{f (t)}. L{y ′′ } = s2 Y (s) − sy(0) − y ′ (0) = s2 Y (s) L{y ′ } =
sY (s) − y(0) = sY (s) L{y} = Y (s) Transforming the LHS: L{y ′′ + 2y ′ + 2y} = (s2 + 2s + 2)Y (s).
Transforming the RHS, F (s):

y ′ = x(t)yet + h(t), y(0) = 1

Step 2: Formulate the ODE

Substitute x(t) and h(t) into the ODE y ′ = f (t, y):

y ′ = (e−t sin t)yet + (t2 + e−t )

y ′ = y sin t + t2 + e−t
So, f (t, y) = y sin t + t2 + e−t . Initial condition: y(0) = 1. Step size h = 0.1. We need 5 steps to
reach t = 0.5.

k1 = hf (tn , yn )
