Concept:

A transfer function is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output to the Laplace transform of the input by assuming initial conditions are zero.

TF = L[output]/L[input]

For unit impulse input i.e. r(t) = δ(t)

⇒ R(s) = δ(s) = 1

Now transfer function = C(s)

Therefore, the transfer function is also known as the impulse response of the system.

Transfer function = L[IR]

IR = L-1 [TF]

Analyses:-

= e-2t
