Question 6a
I'm assuming $ n\, $ is the variable I will be applying the time shift to. I looked at some other peoples work and although they all thought $ k\, $ was the time variable, I think $ k\, $ is just the time step moving the function forward relative to some time position $ n\, $. In other words , $ k=2\, $ doesn't mean time = 2 sec, it just means 2 time steps ahead of time $ n\, $. Another reason I chose $ n\, $ to be the time variable is because when you discussed the sifting property in class you sifted by $ n_0\, $, not $ k\, $.
$ X_k[n]=Y_k[n] \, $
where
$ X_k[n]=\delta[n-k]\, $
and
$ Y_k[n]=(k+1)^2 \delta[n-(k+1)] \, $
Consider the value of the system at when time = 0s
Under this assumption the following system cannot possibly be time invariant because of the $ (k+1)^2 $ term.
