x(t) is converging (or bounded) because [sX(s)] does not have a limit at
s = −4, and s = −5 only, i.e., it has a limit for all real values of s ≥ 0.

x(t) is smooth because the denominator of [sX(s)] is a product of real

factors only. See Fig. S3.9a.

Application of final value theorem is not valid because [sX(s)] does not
have a limit for some real s ≥ 0, i.e., at s = 3±2j. For the same reason, x(t)
is diverging (unbounded).

x(t) is oscillatory because the denominator of [sX(s)] includes complex

factors. See Fig. S3.9b.

Application of final value theorem is not valid because [sX(s)] does not
have a limit for real s = 0. This implies that x(t) is not diverging, since
divergence occurs only if [sX(s)] does not have a limit for some real value
of s>0.

x(t) is oscillatory because the denominator of [sX(s)] is a product of

complex factors. Since x(t) is oscillatory, it is not converging either. See

The Simulink block diagram is shown below. An impulse input should be

used to obtain the function’s behavior. In this case note that the impulse
input is simulated by a rectangular pulse input of very short duration. (At
time t = 0 and t =0.001 with changes of magnitude 1000 and –1000
respectively). The MATLAB command impulse might also be used.

Substitute in Eq.1

1 2
sY1(s) + X 2 (s) + Y1 ( s ) = X1(s)
s+3 s+3

We neglect X2(s) since it is equal to zero.

[s(s + 3) + 2]Y1 (s) = ( s + 3) X 1 (s)

( s 2 + 3s + 2)Y1 ( s ) = ( s + 3) X 1 ( s )

Taking the Laplace transform and assuming zero initial conditions,

s2Y(s) + 3sY(s) + Y(s) = 4 e-2ssX(s) −e-2sX(s)

Rearranging,

Y (s) − (1 − 4s )e −2 s
= G(s) = 2 (1)
X ( s) s + 3s + 1

a) The standard form of the denominator is : τ2s2 + 2ζτs + 1

From (1) , τ = 1 , ζ = 1.5

Thus the system will exhibit overdamped and non-oscillatory response.

b) Steady-state gain

Therefore yˆ (t ) = −1.5 + 1.5e-1.5t cosh(1.11t) + 7.38e-1.5t sinh(1.11t)
