CHAPTER 2 HOMEWORK SOLUTIONS
2.2-2) All delta function arguments associated with y(t) should be "t"
and not the greek letter "alpha".
2.2-2b) The figure labeled x(t-alpha) should have the horizontal axis
marked as "alpha", not "t"
2.2-2b) Bounds are incorrect and should read ".5 < t -.5 < 1.5
or 1 < t < 1.5
2.0"
2.2-2b) when 2 < t < 3, bounds on the integral should be "t-0.5"
and "t 0.5". Alternatively,
you can integrate from "t-1.5" to "1.5".
2.2-2b) There's a math error in the integral evaluated immediately
below these bounds. The equation should read (t*alpha2/2
- alpha3/3 -t*alpha2/2 + alpha). When
evaluated, this will eventually yield y(t) = (t3 - 6t2
+ 10.5t -5.5)/6.
