A discrete time linear shift - invariant system has an impulse response $$h\left[ n \right]$$ with $$h\left[ 0 \right]$$ $$ = 1,\,\,h\left[ 1 \right]\,\, = - 1,\,\,h\left[ 2 \right]\,\, = \,2$$, and zero otherwise. The system is given an input sequence $$x\left[ n \right]$$ with $$x\left[ 0 \right]$$ $$ = \,x\left[ 2 \right]\, = \,1,$$ and zero otherwise. The number of nonzero samples in the output sequence $$y\left[ n \right]$$, and the value of $$y\left[ 2 \right]$$ are, respectively

The signal x(t) is described by $$x\left( t \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {1\,\,\,for\,\, - 1 \le t \le + 1} \cr {0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$

Two of the angular frequencies at which its Fourier transform becomes zero are

A linear, time-invariant, causal continuous time system has a rational transfer function with simple poles at s = - 2 and s = - 4, and one simple zero at s = - 1. A unit step u(t) is applied at the input of the system. At steady state, the output has constant value of 1. The impulse response of this system is

The impulse response h(t) of a linear time-invariant continuous time system is described by $$h\left( t \right) = \,\,\exp \left( {\alpha t} \right)u\left( t \right)\,\,\, + \,\,\exp \left( {\beta t} \right)u\left( { - t} \right),$$ where u(t) denotes the unit step function, and $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ are real constants. This system is stable if
