Output Signals Systems

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around determining the output of a system given the input x[n] and the impulse response h[n]. The input is defined as x[n] = r[n] - 2r[n - 1] + r[n - 2], and the impulse response is h[n] = δ[n - 2]. The proposed output is y[n] = u[n - 3], but there is confusion regarding the multiplication of the two signals, leading to the assertion that y[n] could be 0. Participants are seeking clarification and tips on the correct output calculation.

Homework Statement

Input and system response is as follow:

x[n] = r[n] - 2r[n - 1] + r[n - 2]
h[n] = \delta[n - 2]

The output is:
y[n] = u[n - 3]

Is that true?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I draw the h[n] and x[n] and they looked as follows:

As for me when these two are multiplied, it will become y[n]=0.
Am I right?

Thanks

Can anyone give me a tip maybe? Thanks!

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...
