Problem 1:
𝑌(𝑠)
Find the expression of the transfer function of the following systems. Assume that all initial
𝑋(𝑠)
conditions are zeros for y(t), x(t) and all their derivatives.

Problem 2:

For each of the following transfer function F(s) find the corresponding differential equation

b) 𝐹(𝑠) = (𝑠+1)(𝑠+2)
𝑠+3
c) 𝐹(𝑠) =
𝑠3 +11𝑠2 +12𝑠+18

d) 𝐹(𝑠) = 𝑠4 +4

Problem 3:

Use Matlab to generate the partial fraction expansion of the transfer function

10 ∗ (𝑠 + 5) ∗ (𝑠 + 7)
𝐹(𝑠) =
𝑠 ∗ (𝑠 + 4) ∗ (𝑠 + 12) ∗ (𝑠 2 + 2 ∗ 𝑠 + 10) ∗ (𝑠 2 + 5 ∗ 𝑠 + 9)

Write your code and the MATLAB answer in your submission.
