$ X_{k}[n] = \delta[n-k] $_______________________$ Y_{k}[n] = (k+1)^2\delta[n-(k+1)] $

First Part

The system is time-invariant because any kind of response to the shifted input $ X_{k}[n] = \delta[n-N-k] $ is of the shifted output $ Y_{k}[n] = (k+1)^2\delta[n-N-(k+1)] $.

Second Part

Assuming that this system is linear, the X[n] input would be u[n] to yield the output Y[n] = u[n-1].

$ X[n] = u[n] = \delta[n] - \delta[n-N] $

So k = 0 and N = 1, which will give the output $ Y[n] = \delta[n-1] - \delta[n-2] = u[n-1] $ after the input goes through the system.
