First-order responses

Identify the input transform, find Y(s), and recover a simple response.

Question 1 of 18Choose one

An impulse is not a step

For G(s) = 5/(s + 4), a unit impulse is applied from zero initial conditions. Which output transform is correct?

Formulas you can use

Y(s) = G(s)R(s)

Unit impulse: δ(t) ↔ 1

Unit step: u(t) ↔ 1/s

Choose an answer.
Need a starting point?

Identify R(s) before multiplying. Does a unit impulse introduce a factor 1/s?

Review covers first- and second-order responses, unity feedback and gain selection, sinusoidal steady state, reading Bode plots, and comparing time- and frequency-domain responses.
