Answer 1=

$ \begin{align} E_{\infty}&=\lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T |e^{(2jt)}|^2 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T |(cos(2t) + j*sin(2t))|^2 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\text{ (You could skip this step.)}}\\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T {\sqrt{(cos(2t))^2 + (sin(2t))^2}}^2 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\text{ (You could skip this step.)}}\\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T 1 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} t \Big| ^T _{-T} \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ &=\infty. \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd} \end{align} $

So $ E_{\infty} = \infty $.

$ \begin{align} P_{\infty}&=\lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} \int_{-T}^T |e^{(2jt)}|^2 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} \int_{-T}^T 1 dx \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} t \Big| ^T _{-T} \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} T - {1 \over {2T}} (-T) \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2}} + {1 \over {2}} \quad {\color{OliveGreen}\surd}\\ &= 1 \end{align} $

So $ P_{\infty} = 1 $.

$ P_\infty $ is larger than 0, so $ E_\infty $ should be infinity, and it is. (instructor's comment: good observation!) --Cmcmican 19:50, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Be careful when using the start symbol for multiplication in this context. It usually denotes convolution in electrical engineering.

Answer 2

$ \begin{align} E_{\infty}&=\lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T |e^{(2jt)}|^2 dx, \\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty}\int_{-T}^T 1 dx , \\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} t \Big| ^T _{-T}, \\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} 2T , \\ &=\infty. \end{align} $

$ \begin{align} P_{\infty}&=\lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} \int_{-T}^T |e^{(2jt)}|^2 dx \\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} \int_{-T}^T 1 dx\\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} 2T \\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} 1 \\ &= 1 \end{align} $

  • Looks pretty good!
