Sketch 5cos(t); energy or power
Short answer
The signal is a cosine of amplitude 5, period 2π s, oscillating between ±5. It is a power signal with average power P = 25/2 = 12.5 W (normalized) and infinite energy.
Sketch the signal x(t) = 5cos(t). State whether the given signal is energy signal or power signal.
has amplitude 5 and rad/s, so period s. Peaks of at ; zeros at ; minimum at .
