Practice Question on "Signals and Systems"
Topic: System Properties
Question
The input x(t) and the output y(t) of a system are related by the equation
$ y(t)= x\left( e^{t} \right) \ $
Is the system causal? Justify your answer.

Answer 1
The system is not causal because as t increases the input gets exponentially larger into the future.

Answer 2
This system is not causal because the output $ y(t) $ is dependent on future values of $ x(t) $ at t. For any $ t_0 \in \Re $, the output at $ t_0 $, $ y(t_0) $, DOES NOT depend only on the input $ x(t_0) $ at $ t_0 $ or before $ t_0 $. Meaning $ (t \le t_0) $ does not hold true because $ e^t > t $. The output will depend on exponentially larger values of $ t $.
