Strong match — answer verified against your sources

Based on 1, SN1 reactions proceed through a carbocation intermediate. Tertiary substrates are favored because the three alkyl groups stabilize the positive charge via hyperconjugation and inductive effects.

Primary carbocations lack this stabilization, making them too high in energy to form — so primary substrates undergo SN2 instead.

What's the impulse response for H(s) = 1/(s² + 3s + 2)?

The impulse response can be found by taking the inverse Laplace transform. Here are the steps:

1. Factor: (s+1)(s+2)

2. Partial fractions: A/(s+1) + B/(s+2)

3. Solve: A = 1, B = −1

Taking the inverse Laplace transform:

h(t) = e-t - e-2t

This gives us two exponentials that decay over time. The system is stable since both poles are in the left half-plane.

For t > 0, both terms approach zero. There is no oscillatory behavior since the poles are real and distinct.

Let me know if you need more details.

Using partial fraction decomposition on H(s)1, we factor the denominator as (s+1)(s+2):

h(t) = (e−t − e−2t) u(t)

The poles at s = −1, s = −2 give decaying exponentials. u(t) ensures causality2.

Coefficients A = 1, B = −1 via Heaviside cover-up (Ch. 4, p. 13). System is BIBO stable3.
