Proving time invarianceof a system

[electron2]

i need to prove that
<br /> M_{f(t)}=0.5\int_{t-1}^{t+1}f(u)du<br />
is time invarient
?

i know that
i need to get the same result for a shift in time
<br /> M_{f(t-x)}=0.5\int_{t-1-x}^{t-x+1}f(u-x)du<br />
u-x=s -> du=ds

<br /> M_{f(t-x)}=0.5\int_{t-1-x}^{t-x+1}f(s)ds<br />

so what now??
how does it prove that

<br /> M_{f(t-x)}=M_{f(t)} <br />
??

I think you forgot to change the limits of integration. Anyways I'm not sure what the context is but it looks like we're just dealing with the integrand under a horizontal translation and the corresponding shift in the limits of integration?

whattt?

if you don't know please don't spam

All right I'm starting to get a little annoyed. I'm also sure that before you asked to show f(t-x) = f(t) but whatever. Look it's pretty clear you did not switch the limits of integration, which you need to do for definite integrals. Also, if I am interpreting the question correctly, you generally will not get M_{f(t-x)}=M_{f(t)}. If x is the change in time, f(u-x) shifts the graph of f(u) x units to the right, but your limits of integration for M_{f(t-x)} are those of M_{f(t)} minus x units, which doesn't make much sense. Now I doubt I misunderstood this question 100%, but it would help if you actually posed you question more neatly.

the correct answer that its time invariant


i just miss the final step

Yes, and Snipez90 told you exactly what you had done wrong. It is unfortunate that you chose to insult the only person who had tried to help you rather than thinking about what he said. You made a change of variable but failed to change the limits of integration as you should.

look
my variable are s
not tthis stuff is so weird

i don't how to change the variable
because u-x=s

there is no t there

how to do that
??

i know how to change variable in a normal one variable integral

bu this is impossible

the correct to my question if the first post in this thread is that it time invariant

here are similar solved questions

from the first and 4th examples there i got the idea that
in the y(t-\tau) step we subtract \tau from every t including the intervals of the integral.
in the L(x)(t-\tau) step we subtract \tau only from the variable inside x function
then we if we gety(t-\tau) =L(x)(t-\tau) then its time invariantbut examples 2 and 3 are not following this pattern

in the second example
in the L(x)(t-\tau) step they don't substitute the t with t-tau
i expect it to be t-2\tau inside the x function
??

and in the 4th they add T instead of subtracting it
why??
