Basics of Linearity

Given:

$ e^{2jt}\! $ through a system produces $ e^{-2jt}\! $, and $ e^{-2jt}\! $ produces $ e^{2jt}\! $. what is the output of $ cos(2t)\! $

Answer:

$ cos(2t)\! $ can also be written as $ (e^{2jt} + e^{-2jt})/2\! $ so therefore the linear system's response to $ cos(2t)\! $ is $ (e^{-2jt} + e^{2jt})/2\! $ which would just be $ cos(2t)\! $.
