The previous page introduced the zero input /
zero state method for finding the transient response of a system given the
defining system differential equation. However, it a system is more
commonly, and conveniently, solved starting from the system transfer function or
solved from a state space representation. Accordingly, this page describes how to find
the transient response of a system given one of those more common
representations. It is also possible to find the solution directly from
the system differential equation, as demonstrated
previously.
