3. (22 points) Periodic signals.
(a) (14 points) For each of the following signals, determine whether it is periodic or not. If
the signal is periodic, determine the fundamental period and frequency.
i. x1(t) = sin(2t + π/3)
ii. x2(t) = cos(√
2πt)

(i.e. x(t) = −x(−t)). What is the value of x(T0)?
(c) (4 points) If x(t) is periodic, are the even and odd components of x(t) also periodic?
4. (21 points) Energy and power signals.
(a) (15 points) Determine whether the following signals are energy or power signals. If the
signal is an energy signal, determine its energy. If the signal is a power signal, determine
its power.

iii. x(t) = (

0, otherwise
(b) (6 points) Show the following two properties:
• If x(t) is an even signal and y(t) is an odd signal, then x(t)y(t) is an odd signal;
• If z(t) is an odd signal, then for any τ > 0 we have:
Z τ
−τ
z(t)dt = 0
Use these two properties to show that the energy of x(t) is the sum of the energy of its
even component xe(t) and the energy of its odd component xo(t) , i.e.,
Ex = Exe + Exo

Create a vector x corresponding to the function given in Problem 1. Use a sample
spacing of 0.01 over the range -2 to 2. Plot this vector. Properly label the time axis.
(c) (4 points) Task 3
Create two vectors that represent the even and odd components of the vector x created
in Task 2. A vector in MATLAB is reversed by

Consider the following three signals:

step size of 0.001.
