The discussion revolves around solving state-variable models, specifically focusing on the output functions of the system. The user initially struggles to understand why part a.) has two outputs, y1 and y2, while part b.) only considers y1. Upon further reflection, the user realizes the confusion stemmed from misreading the problem statement. The importance of careful reading in formulating solutions is emphasized, highlighting the value of understanding the problem context. Ultimately, the user resolves their misunderstanding through self-reflection.

Homework Equations


##\dot{x} = Ax + Bu## - Input Function
##y = Cx + Du## - Output Function

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm having trouble with the output functions specifically ..
In a.) the correct solution for the output is: \begin{align} & y_1 = x_1 \\ & y_2 = x_2 \\ & \begin{bmatrix} y_1 \ \\ y_2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} u \end{align}

Now for part b.) the solution is ..

: \begin{align} y_1 & = x_1 \\ y & = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}x + \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} u \end{align}

I don't understand why part a.) has two outputs ##y_1## and ##y_2## whereas part b.) only takes into account ##y_1##. What am I failing to understand conceptually? **I figured it out, apparently I can't read -.-**

That's why the template is so good: formulating the problem requires reading (not photographing) it first :rolleyes:
