SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on expressing y(t) as a function of x(t) through transformations. The derived equation is y(t) = -0.5x(2t-4) + 1.5, which is validated by the participants. However, discrepancies arise when comparing the resulting plot with the reference figure in the textbook (P2.4(b)), particularly in the time interval 4 < t < 5. The consensus indicates that the book's figure may not accurately represent the transformations applied.
