Linearity

If a linear system has a response to exp(2jt) of t*exp(-2jt) and a response to exp(-2jt) of t*exp(2jt), then it's response to cos(2t) must be t*cos(2t).

To look at this in more detail, we must first understand that $ cos(2t)\! $ can be expressed as follows: $ \frac{1}{2}(e^{-2jt}+e^{2jt})\! $

Basic linear algebra uncovers and clarifies very important geometry and algebra.
