Question # 1: [CLO2, C3] (5)

a) Let x[n] be a signal with x[n]=0 for n<-2 and n>4. For each signal given below, determine the
values of n for which it is guaranteed to be zero.
i) x[n-3] ii) x[-n+2] iii)x[-n-2]

b) For each of the following input-output relationships, determine whether the corresponding
system is linear, time invariant or both.
i) y (t )  t 2 x(t  1) ii) y[n]  x 2 [n  2]

c) Let x(t) be a continuous time signal, and let

y1 (t )  x(2t ) and y2 (t )  x(t / 2)
The signal y1 (t ) represents speeded up version of x(t) in the sense that the duration of the signal
is cut in half. Similarly, y2 (t ) represents a slowed down version of x(t) in the sense that the
duration of the signal is doubled. Consider the following statements:
(1) If x(t) is periodic, then y1 (t) is periodic.
(2) If y1 (t) is periodic, then x(t) is periodic.
(3) If x(t) is periodic, then y2(t) is periodic.
(4) If y2(t) is periodic, then x(t) is periodic.
For each of these statements, determine whether it is true, and if so, determine the relationship
between the fundamental periods of the two signals considered in the statement. If the statement
is not true, produce a counterexample to it.

d) A continuous-time signal x(t) is shown in the figure. Sketch and label carefully each of the
following signals:
t
(a) x(t- 1) (b) x(2- t) (c) x(2t + 1) (d) x(4  )
2
e) Consider a system whose input x(t) and output y(t) satisfy the first-order differential
equation
dy (t )
 2 y (t )  x(t )
dt
The system also satisfies the condition of initial rest.
(i) Determine the system output y1 (t ) when the input x1 (t )  e3t u(t )
(ii) Determine the system output y2 (t ) when the input is x2 (t )  e2t u(t )
(iii) Determine the system output y3 (t ) when the input is x3 (t )   e3t u(t )   e2t u(t )
, where  and  are real numbers. Show that y3 (t )   y1 (t )   y2 (t )
