The signal is f(t) = sin(t) and t1=0 and t2=2pi

Energy of sin(t)

The energy expended from t1 to t2 is:


$ E=\int_{t0}^{t2}{|f(t)|^2dt} $


Therefore for our signal:

$ E=\int_0^{2\pi}{|sin(t)|^2dt} $


$ =\frac{1}{2}\int_0^{2\pi}(1-cos(2t))dt $


$ =\frac{1}{2}(t-\frac{1}{2}sin(2t))|_{t=0}^{t=2\pi} $


$ =\frac{1}{2}(2\pi-0+0-0) $

Therefore the total energy for the signal sin(t) from t1 to t2 is: $ E=\pi $
