Section 1 (50 marks)

1. TRUE/FALSE. (15 marks) Write 'T' or F if the statement is true or

false.

1) The unit step signal is equal to the time derivative of the unit ramp signal.
2) The unit pulse function of duration T is called the delta function at T.
3) The unit step signal is not a continuous signal because there is a discontinuity
at the point of change
4) A system that has memory cannot be non-causal False
5) A time invariant system cannot have memory

2. Explain the ERRORS (10 marks)

Identify the two false statements in the previous subsection and explain
shortly why they are false.
