Determine whether the following systems are time invariant or not. 
i)   Y(t) = tx(t)
ii)  Y(n) = x(2n)
 
Solution:
i)   Y(t) = tx(t)
  Y(t) = T[x(t)] = tx(t)
The output due to delayed input is,
Y(t,T) = T[x(t - T)] = tx(t - T)
If the output is delayed by T, we get
Y(t -T) = (t - T) x( t - T)
The system does not satisfy the condition, Y(t,T) = Y(t – T).
Then the system is time variant.
 ii) Y(n) = x(2n)
          

Y(n) = x(2n)
Y(n) = T[x(n)] = x(2n)
If the input is delayed by K units of time then the output is,
Y(n,k) = T[x(n-k)] = x(2n-k)
The output delayed by k units of time is,
Y(n-k) = x[2(n-k)]
Therefore, y(n,k) is not equal to y(n-k). Then the system is time
variant.
Energy and Power Signals:
1. If the signal is periodic and infinite duration, then it can be power signal. So
calculate power directly.

2. If the signal is periodic and finite duration, then it can be Energy signal. So
calculate Energy directly.

3. If the signal is not periodic, then it can be energy signal. So calculate energy
directly.
