Problem 4

A linear is system is a system that given two valid inputs:

$ x_1(t) $

$ x_2(t) $

with respective outputs:

$ y_1(t) = H*[ x_1(t) ] $

$ y_2(t) = H*[ x_2(t) ] $

will satisfy the equation

$ \alpha y_1(t) + \beta y_2(t) = H*[ \alpha x_1(t) + \beta x_2(t) ] $

for any $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $.

Example of Linear System

$ x_1(t) = 4t $

$ x_2(t) = 3t $

$ H = 87 $

therefore

$ y_1(t) = H*[ x_1(t) ] = 87*[4t] $

$ y_2(t) = H*[ x_2(t) ] = 87*[3t] $

$ \alpha y_1(t) + \beta y_2(t) = 87 * [\alpha (4t)] + 87 *[ \beta (3t)] $

$ \alpha y_1(t) + \beta y_2(t) = 87 * [\alpha (4t) + \beta (3t)] $
