Simplify this summation
$ u[n] \sum_{k=-7}^{15} \delta [n-k]. $
(Justify your answer.)
You will receive feedback from your instructor and TA directly on this page. Other students are welcome to comment/discuss/point out mistakes/ask questions too!
Answer 1
First off u[n] is nonzero for any value of n >= 0. The delta function is nonzero only for when n-k=0 or n=k. Since n must be >=0 then the values of k must conform to 0=<k<=15. This makes the function behave like u[n]-u[n-15]. I am not sure if this is completely correct.
- Instructor's comments. Pretty good! You've got all the elements of the correct justification! Now can you write a justification "in maths" instead of "in words"? -pm
- TA's comments. Using distributive property. the equation can be rewritten as
- $ \sum_{k=-7}^{15} u[n]\delta [n-k]. $
