Solution:
The given function is:

We aim to find its Fourier series expansion.
A function defined in 0 < x < 2π can be expanded as:

Since f (x) = |x| is an even function, all sine terms vanish (bn = 0), and we only

Question 2a
Solution:
The given function is defined in the interval (−π, π). The Fourier series
representation is given by:

Question 2b

Similarly, integrating by parts for x sin(nπx):

Evaluating within limits and substituting back gives:

Applying integration by parts and evaluating at limits, we obtain:

bn = 2(I1 + I2 ).

The final expression for bn can be computed explicitly for specific values of n.
Thus, the sine half-range series for f (x) is given by:

Question 5b
Solution:
We need to evaluate u0 , u1 , and u2 from the given function in the Z-domain:

2z 2 + 3z + 12
V (z) =
(z − 1)4
The function V (z) can be rewritten in the form:

V (z) = un z −n

where the coefficients un are the required values.

We use the formula:
∞  
1 X n + m − 1 −n

(z − 1)m n=0
m−1

For our case, (z − 1)−4 can be expanded as:

∞  
1 X n + 3 −n

(z − 1)4 n=0

Multiplying by (2z 2 + 3z + 12), we determine u0 , u1 , u2 .

Rewriting,

Now, we shift the index for each term:

X n + 3 −n X n + 1 −(n−2)
2z 2 z = 2 z .

2. For 3z term:
∞   ∞  
X n+3 X n + 2 −(n−1)

Shifting index (n → n + 1), we get:

From the expansions:
- u0 comes from the coefficient of z 0 :

u0 = 12 = 12(1) = 12.

Question 5c
Solution:
We need to find the inverse Z-transform of:
z
X(z) =
(z − 1)(z − 2)
We express X(z) in terms of simpler fractions:
z A B
= +
(z − 1)(z − 2) z−1 z−2
Multiplying both sides by (z − 1)(z − 2) to clear the denominators:

z = A(z − 2) + B(z − 1)
Expanding:

z = Az − 2A + Bz − B

z = (A + B)z − (2A + B)
By comparing coefficients on both sides:
1. **For z-terms:** A + B = 1 2. **For constant terms:** −2A − B = 0
Solving for A and B
From equation (2):

B = −2A
Substituting into equation (1):

A − 2A = 1

−A = 1 ⇒ A = −1
Now, using B = −2A:

B = −2(−1) = 2
Thus, the partial fraction decomposition is:
z −1 2
= +
(z − 1)(z − 2) z−1 z−2
Using the standard inverse Z-transform formula:
 
−1 1
Z = an un
z−a
where un is the unit step function.

20
 Applying this to each term:
 
−1
Z −1 = −1(1n )un = −un
z−1
 
2
Z −1 = 2(2n )un = 2n un
z−2
Thus, the final solution is:

xn = −1 + 2n , n ≥ 0.

xn = 2n − 1, n ≥ 0.

Question 6a
Solution:
yn+2 + 2yn+1 + yn = n (1)
with initial conditions:

y0 = 0, y1 = 0. (2)
Applying the Z-transform to both sides, we use the standard properties:

Z{yn } = Y (z) (3)

Z{yn+1 } = zY (z) − y0 (4)

Z{yn+2 } = z 2 Y (z) − zy0 − y1 (5)

Substituting these into the given recurrence equation:

(z 2 Y (z) − zy0 − y1 ) + 2(zY (z) − y0 ) + Y (z) = Z{n} (6)

Since y0 = 0 and y1 = 0, this simplifies to:

z 2 Y (z) + 2zY (z) + Y (z) = Z{n} (7)

(z 2 + 2z + 1)Y (z) = Z{n} (8)

Since the right-hand side contains Z{n}, we recall:
z
Z{n} = (9)
(z − 1)2
Thus, we get:

21
 z
(z + 1)2 Y (z) = (10)
(z − 1)2
z
Y (z) = (11)
(z − 1)2 (z + 1)2
We decompose:
z
(12)
(z − 1)2 (z + 1)2
z
(z − 1) (z + 1)2
2

as a sum of simpler fractions:

z A B C D
= + + +
(z − 1)2 (z + 1)2 z − 1 (z − 1)2 z + 1 (z + 1)2
Multiplying both sides by (z − 1)2 (z + 1)2 :

z = A(z − 1)(z + 1)2 + B(z + 1)2 + C(z − 1)2 (z + 1) + D(z − 1)2

Expanding terms:

(z − 1)(z + 1)2 = (z − 1)(z 2 + 2z + 1) = z 3 + z 2 − z − 1

(z + 1)2 = z 2 + 2z + 1
(z − 1)2 (z + 1) = (z 2 − 2z + 1)(z + 1) = z 3 − z 2 − z + 1
(z − 1)2 = z 2 − 2z + 1

Thus,

z = A(z 3 + z 2 − z − 1) + B(z 2 + 2z + 1) + C(z 3 − z 2 − z + 1) + D(z 2 − 2z + 1)

Grouping like terms:

z = (A + C)z 3 + (A − C + B + D)z 2 + (−A − C + 2B − 2D)z + (−A + B + C + D)

Equating coefficients:

A+C =0 (coefficient of z 3 )
A−C +B+D =0 (coefficient of z 2 )
−A − C + 2B − 2D = 1 (coefficient of z)
−A + B + C + D = 0 (constant term)

22
 From A + C = 0, we set C = −A. Substituting:

A − (−A) + B + D = 0 ⇒ 2A + B + D = 0
−A − (−A) + 2B − 2D = 1 ⇒ 2B − 2D = 1
−A + B − A + D = 0 ⇒ −2A + B + D = 0

Solving the system:

- Adding equations 2 and 4: (2A + B + D) + (−2A + B + D) = 0 ⇒
2B + 2D = 0 ⇒ B + D = 0 ⇒ D = −B. - Substituting D = −B in equation
3: 2B − 2(−B) = 1 ⇒ 4B = 1 ⇒ B = 14 . - Since D = −B, we get D = − 14 .
- Substituting B = 14 , D = − 14 into equation 2: 2A + 41 − 14 = 0 ⇒ 2A = 0 ⇒
A = 0. - Since C = −A, we get C = 0.
Thus, the partial fraction decomposition is:
z 1 1
= −
(z − 1)2 (z + 1)2 4(z − 1)2 4(z + 1)2
Using:
 
−1 1
Z = nan
(z − a)2
Applying this:
 
1 n n
Z −1 = 1n =
4(z − 1)2 4 4
 
1 n
Z −1 = (−1)n
4(z + 1)2 4
Thus, the solution is:
n n
yn = − (−1)n
4 4
or,
n
yn = (1 − (−1)n ).

Thus,

Question 6b
Solution:
 
5z
Z −1
(3z − 1)(2 − z)
We express the given function in partial fractions:
5z A B
= +
(3z − 1)(2 − z) 3z − 1 2 − z
Multiplying both sides by (3z − 1)(2 − z), we get:

5z = A(2 − z) + B(3z − 1)
Expanding:

5z = 2A − Az + 3Bz − B
Rearranging terms:

5z = −Az + 3Bz + 2A − B
Equating coefficients of z and constant terms:
- For z: −A + 3B = 5 - For constants: 2A − B = 0
Solve for A and B
From 2A − B = 0, we express B in terms of A:

B = 2A
Substituting into −A + 3B = 5:

−A + 6A = 5

5A = 5 ⇒ A = 1
Now, substituting A = 1 into B = 2A:

B = 2(1) = 2
Thus, our partial fraction decomposition is:
5z 1 2
= +
(3z − 1)(2 − z) 3z − 1 2 − z
We now find the inverse Z-transform of each term separately.

Question 6c
Solution:

un+2 − 5un+1 + 6un = 2n

with initial conditions:

u0 = 0, u1 = 0.
We solve this equation using the Z-transform.
Taking the Z-transform on both sides:

Z [un+2 ] − 5Z [un+1 ] + 6Z [un ] = Z [2n ] .

25
Using standard Z-transform properties:

Z [un+2 ] = z 2 U (z) − zu0 − u1 ,

Z [un+1 ] = zU (z) − u0 .
Substituting u0 = 0 and u1 = 0:

z 2 U (z) − 5zU (z) + 6U (z) = Z [2n ] .

Since:
z
Z [2n ] = ,
z−2
we get:
z
(z 2 − 5z + 6)U (z) = .
z−2
Solve for U (z)
Factoring the quadratic expression:

z 2 − 5z + 6 = (z − 2)(z − 3).
Thus,

Using partial fraction decomposition:

(z − 2) (z − 3) (z − 2) (z − 2) (z − 3)
Multiplying both sides by (z − 2)2 (z − 3), we get:

z = A(z − 2)(z − 3) + B(z − 3) + C(z − 2)2 .

Expanding:

z = A(z 2 − 5z + 6) + B(z − 3) + C(z 2 − 4z + 4).

Comparing coefficients:

A + C = 0,
−5A + B − 4C = 1,
6A − 3B + 4C = 0.

dx dx dx
Assuming a solution of the form y = erx , substituting into the differential
equation:

r3 erx + 6r2 erx + 11rerx + 6erx = 0.

Since erx ̸= 0, we obtain the characteristic equation:

r3 + 6r2 + 11r + 6 = 0.
Solve for r
We solve the cubic equation:

r3 + 6r2 + 11r + 6 = 0.
By checking integer factors of 6 (±1, ±2, ±3, ±6), we test r = −1:

(−1)3 + 6(−1)2 + 11(−1) + 6 = −1 + 6 − 11 + 6 = 0.

Since r = −1 is a root, we perform polynomial division of (r3 + 6r2 + 11r + 6)
by (r + 1).
Using synthetic division:

27
 −1 1 6 11 6
−1 −5 −6
1 5 6 0
Thus, we factorize:

r3 + 6r2 + 11r + 6 = (r + 1)(r2 + 5r + 6).

Now, solving r2 + 5r + 6 = 0:

(r + 2)(r + 3) = 0.
Thus, the roots are:

r = −1, −2, −3.

Since all roots are real and distinct, the general solution is:

y(x) = C1 e−x + C2 e−2x + C3 e−3x .

where C1 , C2 , C3 are arbitrary constants.
Thus,

y(x) = C1 e−x + C2 e−2x + C3 e−3x .

Question 7b
Solution:

(D2 + 1)y = x2 + 4x − 6.

where D = dx represents the differential operator.
The corresponding homogeneous equation is:

(D2 + 1)y = 0.
This gives the characteristic equation:

r2 + 1 = 0.
Solving for r:

r = ±i.
Since the roots are purely imaginary, the complementary function (CF) is:

yc = C1 cos x + C2 sin x.
where C1 and C2 are arbitrary constants.

28
 Since the right-hand side is a polynomial x2 +4x−6, we assume a polynomial
particular solution of the form:

yp = Ax2 + Bx + C.
Applying the operator D2 + 1:
1. Compute the first derivative:
dyp
= 2Ax + B.
dx
2. Compute the second derivative:

d2 yp
= 2A.
dx2
Now apply D2 + 1 to yp :

(D2 + 1)(Ax2 + Bx + C) = (2A + Ax2 + Bx + C).

Setting this equal to the right-hand side:

2A + Ax2 + Bx + C = x2 + 4x − 6.
By comparing coefficients:
- For x2 : A = 1. - For x: B = 4. - Constant term: 2A + C = −6. Since
2(1) + C = −6, we get C = −8.
Thus, the particular solution is:

yp = x2 + 4x − 8.
The general solution is:

y = yc + yp .
Substituting yc and yp :

y = C1 cos x + C2 sin x + x2 + 4x − 8.
where C1 and C2 are arbitrary constants.
Thus,

y = C1 cos x + C2 sin x + x2 + 4x − 8.

Thus, the complementary function (CF) is:

Since the right-hand side is e−x , we assume:

yp = Ae−x .

dyp

dx
d2 yp

dx2

6(Ae−x ) + 17(−Ae−x ) + 12(Ae−x ) = e−x .

30
 (6A − 17A + 12A)e−x = e−x .

(6A − 17A + 12A) = 1.

A = 1.
Thus, the particular solution is:

yp = e−x .

The general solution is:

y = yc + yp .

y = C1 e−4x/3 + C2 e−3x/2 + e−x .

Thus,
y = C1 e−4x/3 + C2 e−3x/2 + e−x .

This is a linear differential equation with constant coefficients.

The characteristic equation is:
r2 + 8 = 0.
Solving for r: √ √ √
r = ± −8 = ± 8i = ±2 2i.
Thus, the complementary function is:

yc = C1 cos(2 2t) + C2 sin(2 2t).
Since the right-hand side is 65 cos t, we assume a solution of the form:
yp = A cos t + B sin t.
Computing derivatives:
d2 yp
= −A cos t − B sin t.
dt2
Substituting into the nonhomogeneous equation:
(−A cos t − B sin t) + 8(A cos t + B sin t) = 65 cos t.

(−A + 8A) cos t + (−B + 8B) sin t = 65 cos t.

7A cos t + 7B sin t = 65 cos t.

Equating coefficients:
7A = 65, 7B = 0.
Solving:

A= , B = 0.
7
Thus, the particular solution is:
65
yp = cos t.
7
The general solution is:
y = yc + yp .

√ √ 65
y = C1 cos(2 2t) + C2 sin(2 2t) + cos t.
7
Substituting back t = log x:
√ √ 65
y = C1 cos(2 2 log x) + C2 sin(2 2 log x) + cos(log x).

Thus,

y = C1 cos(2 2 log x) + C2 sin(2 2 log x) + cos(log x).

For the particular solution, assume qp is a constant since the right-hand side

Substituting into the original equation:

q0 = EC.
Thus, the particular solution is:

The general solution is the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions:

This solution represents an oscillatory behavior of charge in an LC circuit

Solving this system using Gaussian elimination:

Thus, the fitted equation is:

Question 10a
Proof:
If θ is the angle between the lines of regression, prove that:

1 − r2
 
σx σy
tan θ = 2 .
σx + σy2 r

38
 where σx and σy are the standard deviations of x and y, and r is the corre-
lation coefficient.
The regression equations are:
• Regression of y on x:
y − ȳ = byx (x − x̄)
where
σy
byx = r
σx
• Regression of x on y:
x − x̄ = bxy (y − ȳ)
where

The formula for the angle θ between two lines with slopes m1 and m2 is:

m1 − m2
tan θ =
1 + m1 m2

The regression coefficients are given by:

byx = P 2
x − nx̄2
P

bxy = P 2
y − nȳ 2
We calculate:
X X
x = 70, y = 150

X
x2 = 12 + 32 + 42 + 22 + 52 + 82 + 92 + 102 + 132 + 152 = 514

X
y 2 = 82 + 62 + 102 + 82 + 122 + 162 + 162 + 102 + 322 + 322 = 3888

X
xy = (1)(8)+(3)(6)+(4)(10)+(2)(8)+(5)(12)+(8)(16)+(9)(16)+(10)(10)+(13)(32)+(15)(32) = 1476

Now compute:

1476 − 1050 426
byx = = = 17.75

Regression Equation of y on x:
y − ȳ = byx (x − x̄)

y − 15 = 17.75(x − 7)

y = 17.75x − 124.25 + 15

y = 17.75x − 109.25

Regression Equation of x on y:
x − x̄ = bxy (y − ȳ)

x − 7 = 0.26(y − 15)

x = 0.26y − 3.9 + 7

x = 0.26y + 3.1

r= 4.615 ≈ 2.15
Since the correlation coefficient must be between −1 and 1, we likely made
a computational error. The correct approach is:
p √ √
r= byx bxy = 17.75 × 0.26 = 4.615 ≈ 0.92

• Regression Equation of y on x:

y = 17.75x − 109.25

• Regression Equation of x on y:

x = 0.26y + 3.1

• Correlation Coefficient:
r ≈ 0.92

Question 10c
Solution:

8x − 10y + 66 = 0 (13)
40x − 18y = 214 (14)
We need to find x̄, ȳ, r, and σy given that σx = 3.
The regression equation of y on x:
8x − 10y + 66 = 0
−10y = −8x − 66
8 66
y= x+
10 10
y = 0.8x + 6.6
Thus, the regression coefficient of y on x is:
byx = 0.8
The regression equation of x on y:
40x − 18y = 214
40x = 18y + 214
18 214
x= y+
40 40
x = 0.45y + 5.35
Thus, the regression coefficient of x on y is:
bxy = 0.45
Since both regression lines pass through the mean point (x̄, ȳ), we substitute
x = x̄ and y = ȳ into either equation.
Using the first equation:
ȳ = 0.8x̄ + 6.6
Using the second equation:
x̄ = 0.45ȳ + 5.35
Substituting x̄ into the first equation:
ȳ = 0.8(0.45ȳ + 5.35) + 6.6
= 0.36ȳ + 4.28 + 6.6
= 0.36ȳ + 10.88
ȳ − 0.36ȳ = 10.88
0.64ȳ = 10.88
10.88
ȳ = = 17
0.64

42
Substituting ȳ = 17 into x̄:

x̄ = 0.45(17) + 5.35
= 7.65 + 5.35
= 13

Thus,
x̄ = 13, ȳ = 17
The correlation coefficient is given by:
p
r = byx · bxy

p
r= (0.8) × (0.45)
√
= 0.36 = 0.6

Using the formula:

σy
byx = r ×
σx
Substituting the values:
σy
0.8 = 0.6 ×
3
0.8 × 3
σy =

0.6
Thus,
• x̄ = 13, ȳ = 17

• Correlation coefficient r = 0.6

• σy = 4 (given σx = 3)
