(c) 2A

(d) 4A^2

I got this question in my homework.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Classification of Signals in division Signals and Systems Basics of Signals and Systems

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) 8A^2

To elaborate: The total energy of the rectangular pulse can be found by integrating the square of the signal. Basically energy is given by area under the curve.
