Time dependent changes-

1. Time delay- In simple terms you are shifting the original signal by a factor. For eg.

Time shift example

In this example as you can see, a simple way of understanding time shift/delay is by looking at how the graph changes when you want a shift in the signal.

2. Time scaling- In simple terms you are shifting the height/width of the graph of a signal. amplitude scaling graph example

The change in graph depends on the value of a. If |a|>0, then the height increases, else it decreases.

3. Time reversal- When you negate the independent variable, the graph of the dependent variable changes to a mirror image of the original graph.
