Trouble with first order system

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem related to first order systems in linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, as presented by a participant who is reviewing class notes. The focus includes the presentation of the problem and the clarity of the participant's question, along with suggestions for improving the communication of the problem.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests clarification on the problem presented, indicating that the original post may need editing for better understanding.
  • Another participant suggests that using LaTeX for equations would enhance readability and comprehension of the problem.
  • A participant mentions a related thread that discusses convolution in LTI systems, implying it may provide useful context for the original question.
  • Concerns are raised about the format of the attachments, with one participant stating they cannot access a .doc file on their system and emphasizing the need for clearer presentation of the question.
  • There is a suggestion to consider alternative forums for posting signal processing questions if the current format is not effective.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for clearer communication and presentation of the problem, but there is no consensus on how to best achieve this or on the specifics of the original question.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the participant's use of file formats that may not be accessible to all users, as well as the potential need for clearer mathematical notation to facilitate understanding.

Im going over some class notes on LTI systems, and attempted a problem involving first order systems.

I have attached the problem, it is on page 1B.2 of the attached pdf (its in italics)

Also, I have attached a word doc showing my hand working

many thanks in advance

take a look at this thread, https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=174635 if you want some general stuff about how or why convolution comes about in a LTI system.

secondly, i suggest that you post your equations using LaTeX so we can read them. it's too hard decoding what you're saying for me to put the time into it.
 
Am I making any sense after the change to my original post, do i need to consider editting it so it makes more sense ?
 
sorry, but with limited time and voluntary help, you need to put your question together in a manner that we can simply read it on the page. sometimes LaTeX is not necessary, but, if done right, it sure helps.

i'm using linux, and i can't even read your .doc file. i am not going to go through a great effort just to be able to read what it is you're trying to ask. you have to make that effort to present it to us so that we can read it.

another possibility (but you won't have any tools, like LaTeX) is to post a signal processing question to the USENET newsgroup comp.dsp . then you have to use "ASCII math" notation.
