SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on expressing five specific plots in terms of the function x(t) using properties such as time shift, time scale, time reversal, and superposition. The user, Alpha_Centauri, attempts to derive the expression for x1(t) and suggests it involves x(t) and its transformations, specifically noting a left shift and reversal. The community provides guidance on seeking additional help and emphasizes the importance of clear subject lines for future inquiries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of signal properties: time shift, time scale, time reversal, and superposition.
  • Familiarity with basic signal functions, specifically x(t).
  • Knowledge of mathematical notation and transformations in signal processing.
  • Experience with forum etiquette and effective communication for academic inquiries.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems.
  • Learn about the graphical representation of signals and their transformations.
  • Explore resources on signal processing, particularly focusing on time-domain analysis.
  • Review examples of superposition in systems and signals to solidify understanding.
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in electrical engineering, signal processing, or mathematics, particularly those tackling homework related to systems and signals analysis.

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!
