AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around expressing five plots in terms of a given function x(t) using properties like time shift, time scale, time reverse, and superposition. The original poster struggles to recall how to derive these plots from x(t) and attempts to analyze one plot, suggesting it involves a combination of x(t) and its reversed version. Other participants offer encouragement and suggest moving the question to a more appropriate forum for better assistance. The original poster expresses gratitude and indicates progress in understanding the problem. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of applying signal processing concepts in homework.

Systems and Signals questions---plots

Homework Statement



Problem: Express the bottom 5 plots in term of x(t) (the top plot) with its time shift, time scale, time reverse and superposition properties. (see attached picture)



Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution



I have very little notes on this and feel like I have done this a few years ago, but my memory is failing me. I am not understanding how to get the plots just from x(t).

My attempt for x1(t): it looks like it is just x(t) but 2 of them back to back with one being reversed.Also it is shifted left by 1. So I figured it would look something like x(t+1) + x(-t+1).

I have no idea if that is right or not or how to check it. If anyone could help teach me with examples or have a good link that can teach me that would help a lot.

Thanks!

Hi Alpha_Centauri! http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5725/red5e5etimes5e5e45e5e25.gif

A curly question you have here, for your first post! Perhaps if you get no help here, message a moderator and ask to have this moved to the maths homework forum (precalculus maths). Your subject line might have thrown a few off the scent of an easy maths problem. :smile:

I'm a bit rusty on these myself. Sorry.

Thanks NascentOxygen! I will keep that in mind for future post, but for this I think I was able to figure it out!
