Why the fuck do professors think this is appropriate for a solution to a problem? Like what the fucking fuck

Why the fuck do professors think this is appropriate for a solution to a problem? Like what the fucking fuck.

Everyone look out guys, OP's been asked to "work".

>being autistic is called working.

What about it?
Just get used to it, we had to fucking do brainless euclides algorithm when doing diofantique equations in our head.

I'm fine with doing linear, but I'm not fine with doing Laplace transforms on 4 different equations with 4 unknowns and having to solve the linear algebra by hand because my calculator doesn't support having a s variable in its matrix solver...only to have the homework server reject me because I'm off by a decimal on a 12 digit number.

Fucking AIDS.

There is a wonderful matrix solver in SciPy and Matlab, why not use those?

BUt yeah, i can feel you fucking proffessors get their dicks hard by failing students for stupid shit like 1 decimal number missing....

I'm learning Matlab right now, do I need to specify to it that I'm using a Laplace variable?

I still need to do it by hand on the final though...

Shit is never this ugly on the final. I did all of the ugly problems on a computer and I ended up with a 100% on every exam in my class (averages were about 60%). Problems that ugly are too long for an exam.

Oh, you're still an undergrad?
Yeah, fuck off. You do menial work. You haven't earned the right to complain yet.

> only to have the homework server reject me because I'm off by a decimal on a 12 digit number.
Have you considered the possibility that the lecturer is trying to weed out morons who just plug shit into a computer then parrot whatever answer the computer spits out?

Just so you know, you can check your answers pretty easily before submitting them.

>What is a computer?

>a ratio of two polynomials, factored as much as possible (over the reals)

OP, you're literally being spoon-fed you faggot.

With integer coefficients and of low degree, even. It's hard to imagine a much nicer solution.

Shut the fuck up. Get out of your fucking ass and realize undergrad is hard for some people. Who gives a shit about what other people complain about.

If you're at the stage of your studies where you're doing laplace transforms, regardless of whether you are studying math, physics or elec engi, professors expect you to know how to at least use MATLAB/octave/scipy whatever at a beginner level. learning matlab is definitely a step in the right direction, so keep doing that.

And also to answer your question, it will depend on what you are trying to do. Obviously if you just type in something like sysmon s, it will not be recognised as something in the s-domain (afaik for matlab anyways).

As for exams, they will either be much simpler to solve (in terms of computation, not analytically or conceptually), or the solution will be tedious but it will be worth a decent number of marks so it's not too bad.

in my intro systems course, the proff actively encouraged computer methods for assignments. used to have a good kek at everyone who did 30+ lines of tedious working by hand and then typed it up in latex, when all they had to do was put in ~10 lines of code to demonstrate the same level of problem solving and get the same marks

haha sorry. not sysmon
syms

Is there a missing s in the middle of the denominator, or is it actually supposed to contain the sum of two integers?

Assuming that there's supposed to be an s, the partial fraction expansion is:

Vo(s) = 275/s - 125*(s+625)/((s+625)^2 + 625^2) - 100*625/((s+625)^2 + 625^2)
= 25*(11*1/s - 5*(s+α)/((s+α)^2 + ω^2) - 4*ω/((s+α)^2 + ω^2))
with α = ω = 625.

The first (1/s) term is a unit step, the second is e^(-αt)*cos(ωt), the third is e^(-αt)*sin(ωt).

I.e. v0(t) = 25*(11*u(t) + e^(-αt)*(4*sin(ωt) - 5*cos(ωt))

>Back in my day maths was way harder when we had to enscribe our workings on stone tablets and learned pythagoras theorum at our second year of university
Just stop.
