Practice Question on the Definition of a Memoryless System

The input x(t) and the output y(t) of a system are related by the equation

$ y(t)= t^2 x(t) $

Is the system memoryless? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Yes. Since the requirement for a system to be memoryless is that for any time $ t_0 \in \Re $, $ y(t_0) $ depends only on the input $ x(t_0) $.

In other words, since this system is dependent only on current values of t, not future or past values, we say it is a memoryless system. --Darichar 14:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
