17. Ans: (c)

Solution: Since the pole is at s=2 and the function is absolutely integrable thus it must
contains j axis. Thus the ROC of the signal will be as shown below.

Hence, the signal is left sided

18. Ans: (a)

Solution: Since x(t)e3t is stable then ROC of its Laplace transform must contain (j ) axis
s0 t
and we know that x(t)e F.T.
  X(s s0 )
i.e. the ROC shifts to the left by s0 thus for x(t)e3t to be stable the ROC of x(t) should
contain s=3.
Thus ROC of x(t) is Re[s]>2
Thus the signal in time domain should be right sided signal.

22. Ans: -2
Solution: In an all pass filter the location of poles and zeros are equidistant from the j -axis
as shown in the figure below.

If we write the transfer function for the above given poles zeros plot.it is represented as

H(s)  2

Thus comparing from the above equation, we get
a=-2

23. Ans: (d)

Solution: Y(s)=H(s)X(s)
Since, it is asked in the question to find the forced response thus, we will take the initial
