SUMMARY
The discrete time system defined by y[n] = x[n]^2 is confirmed to be time invariant. The analysis shows that when the input x[n] is shifted by a constant a, the output y[n+a] remains consistent with the definition of time invariance. The conclusion is that this system is non-linear and time-invariant, as the output does not change with time shifts in the input.
