AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the causality of two systems defined by their equations. The first system, y(t) = ∫∞-∞x(λ) dλ, is identified as non-causal because the input x(λ) can occur at times earlier than t. The second system, y(t) = ∫t-∞x(5λ) dλ, is also considered non-causal since it explicitly integrates inputs that are less than t. Both systems are confirmed to be non-causal due to their reliance on past input values. The conclusion emphasizes that both systems do not adhere to the principles of causality.

Homework Statement



y(t) = ∫-∞x(λ) dλ

AND

y(t) = ∫t-∞x(5λ) dλ

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



They're both non-causal right?
because in the first one the input can be less than t and in the second one it IS less than t?

Thanks
