By Cauchy integral theorem,
\int \frac{z^2-1}{z+2}dz=0
Therefore, \frac{z^2-1}{z+2} is analytic in the region |z|\leq 1.
Question 5

Given that,
\begin{aligned} E(x^2)&=\frac{kT}{C}\\ E(x)&=0\\ &=E(x^2)-(E(x))^2\\ Var(x)&=\frac{kT}{C}-0=\frac{kT}{C} \end{aligned}
Standard deviation =\sqrt{\frac{kT}{C}}

Question 6 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} H(s)&=\frac{c_1}{a_2s^2+b_2s+c_2}\\ & as \;\; a_1=b_1=0\\ &=\frac{c_1}{(1+s\tau _1)(1+s\tau _2)}\\ \text{Put }s&=0,\; H(0)=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\\ \text{Put }s&=\infty ,\; H(\infty )=0 \end{aligned}

which represents second order low pass filter.
Question 7

Question 7 Explanation: 
a and T represents positive quantities.
u(t) is unit step function.
h(t)=1+e^{-at}u(t), is non-causal
Here '1' is a constant and two sided so the system will be non-causal, because for causal system,
h(t)=0,\;\;\; t \lt 0
h(t) \neq 0,\;\;\; t \gt 0
