Finding impulse of a CT system

AI Thread Summary
To find the impulse response h(t) of the continuous-time system defined by the equation y(t) = ∫_{-\infty}^{t} (t - λ + 2)x(λ) dλ, one must express the convolution y(t) = x(t) * h(t) as an integral. By comparing the given integral with the convolution form, it is possible to derive a function resembling h(t - λ). The key is to manipulate the integral to isolate h(t) effectively. With these steps, determining h(t) should become manageable.

Homework Statement


A continuous-time system has the input/output relationship

y(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{t} (t - \lambda + 2)x(\lambda) d\lambda

Determine the impulse response h(t) of the system

Homework Equations


Convolution theorems

y(t) = x(t) * h(t)
Where y(t) is the output, x(t) is the input and h(t) is the impulse response


The Attempt at a Solution


I have absolutely no clue how to obtain the impulse response, going backwards in a CT domain from the given equation above. Can anyone give me some hints to start me off?

Express the convolution as an integral. Compare this integral with the problem statement and obtain a function of the form h(t-\lambda). It should not be too difficult then to determine h(t).
 
Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
