A Linear system is a system that makes the result of 1. and 2. equal. 1. For any function x1(t) that goes into the system and is multiplied by A is added to a function x2(t) that goes into the system and is multiplied by B so that the added result is z(t)
(X1(t) --> system --> *A)
+ (X2(t) --> system --> *B)
-----------------------------
z(t)
2. For any function x1(t) that is multiplied by A and added to any function x2(t) that is multiplied by B, of which then the whole goes into the system.
[Ax1(t) + Bx2(t)]--> system --> w(t)
So if w(t) = z(t) then the system is linear.
Example of a Linear System
Let the system be y(t) = 2x(t)+1
Let x1(t) = 1 Let x2(t) = n Let A = 1 Let B = 5
1.
(1 --> system = (2(1)+1) = 3 --> 3*1 = 3)
+ (n --> system = (2(n)+1) = 2n+1 --> 5(2(n)+1) = 10n+5)
-----------------------------
= 10n+8
2.
[1*1 + 5n = 5n+1] --> system = 2(5n+1)+1 = 10n +3
Example of Non Linear System
Lets say that the system is y(t) = e^x(t)
