Question
### Problem Statement:
Determine the value of the resistance, \( R \), in Ohms for the given circuit.

### Circuit Diagram:
The circuit consists of a voltage source, \( v_s(t) \), a resistor \( R \), and an inductor with an inductance of 15 H. There are two voltage parameters: \( v_s(t) \) and \( v_0(t) \).

### Voltage Definitions:
- \( v_s(t) = -3 + 6u(t) \) V
- \( v_0(t) = +6e^{-0.8t} u(t) \) V

Here, \( u(t) \) represents the unit step function.

### Graph Description:
- The graph plots \( v_s(t) \) and \( v_0(t) \) over time (\( t \) in seconds).
- \( v_s(t) \) is shown in red, while \( v_0(t) \) is shown in blue.
- The time axis ranges from -1 to 5 seconds, and the voltage axis ranges from -10 to 10 volts.
- At \( t = 0 \), \( v_s(t) \) jumps from -3 V to 3 V, remaining constant afterwards.
- \( v_0(t) \) starts at 6 V for \( t = 0 \) and asymptotically approaches 0 V, demonstrating an exponential decay.

### Analysis Objective:
Use the given information and graphs to determine the resistance \( R \) in the circuit.
