Question one (total: 30 marks):

a) Find the corresponding time-domain signal ().
(10 marks)
b) Given that the signal () in part (a) is a periodic function of time, find
the fundamental (radian) frequency and the Fourier series coefficients of
the signal ().
(10 marks)
c) Determine how (), i.e., the Fourier transform of (), given above,
can be derived using its fundamental (radian) frequency and the Fourier
series coefficients you have found in part (b).
Question two (total: 20 marks):
The impulse response of a linear time invariant (LTI) system is given as

system.
(10 marks)
b) Find the output () of this system, in terms of cosine functions, to the
input
() = ?35 + ?30 + ?20 + ?15 + 1 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 35
