Activity 1 Solution
Since x(t) is sinusoidal, y(t) will be a sinusoidal.
y(t) = 2A1 sin(5t + θ )
Where A1 and θ are the magnitude and phase of the complex constant H(ω1) given

Activity 3 Solution
From inspection, w(t) is even. Therefore, bn=0 for all n. Since w(t) has a
fundamental period T0=3, then ω0=2π/3. Note that the area enclosed by one
period of w(t) is 0, e.g. t=[-1,2], area=2(1/3)+1(-2/3)=0. w(t) is zero mean, which
implies that a0=0.
