Yes. Since the requirement for a system to be memoryless is that for any time

<math class="inline">t_0 \in \Re</math>, <math>y(t_0)</math> depends only on the input <math>x(t_0)</math>.

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. --[[User:Darichar|Darichar]] 14:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

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)
