Topic: System Properties


Question

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

$ y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^t x(\tau) d\tau . \ $

Is the system linear (yes/no)? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Yes, this system is linear.

If

$ x_1(t) \to \Bigg[ system \Bigg] \to y_1(t)= \int_{-\infty}^{t} x_1(\tau) d\tau $

and

$ x_2(t) \to \Bigg[ system \Bigg] \to y_2(t)= \int_{-\infty}^{t} x_2(\tau) d\tau $

Then

$ ax_1(t)+bx_2(t) \to \Bigg[ system \Bigg] \to y(t)= \int_{-\infty}^{t} ax_1(\tau)+bx_2(\tau) d\tau = a\int_{-\infty}^{t} x_1(\tau) d\tau\ +\ b\int_{-\infty}^{t} x_2(\tau) d\tau = ay_1(t)+by_2(t) $
