Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding an impulse function represented as x[n] = [1 2 3 4] for n ranging from -4 to 0. Participants are exploring the meaning of the values within the brackets and their corresponding indices.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the interpretation of the impulse function, specifically questioning the meaning of the values [1 2 3 4] at the indices from -4 to 0.
  • Some participants propose that the values represent amplitudes at specific indices, suggesting that at n = -3, the amplitude is 2.
  • Another participant points out a potential inconsistency, noting that there are 5 indices from -4 to 0 but only 4 elements in the provided array.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is some agreement on the interpretation of the values as amplitudes at specific indices, but a disagreement arises regarding the mismatch between the number of indices and the number of elements in the array.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the implications of the mismatch between the indices and the elements in the array, leaving open questions about the correct representation of the impulse function.

Homework Statement


Hi guys,

I tried google for it but no avail so i seek for your help. I have a impulse function x[n] = [1 2 3 4] for n= -4 to 0




The Attempt at a Solution



what does the 1 2 3 4 inside the bracket mean? at n = -3, there is a amplitude of 2?


Thank you.

Yes, that's what I would interpret it as.

Thanks...
 
Although on second thought... -4 to 0 is a total of 5 indices. But you have only 4 elements in your brackets.
