Practice Problems

I will, as soon as somebody else than Carolyn attempts the above two problems.-pm


I have attempted two problems: "What is the Nyquist rate for this other signal?" last week and

"Time invariance of a system proved by a previous student" a long time ago, but I never got a response on either...

I am new to wikis, so can you tell me if I posted them the wrong way? If so, are there instructions on how to do it correctly?
