Problem 2

Although not difficult but I find these kind of problems the most confusing.

Now we were asked to check whether the system defined by the equation $ y(t) = x(1-t) $ is time-invariant or not?

One easy approach would be as follows

Now

$ x(1-t) = x (-t+1)) $


$ x(t) $DELAY$ x(t-to) $SYSTEM$ x (-t-to+1))= x(1-t-to) $


And,


$ x(t) $SYSTEM$ x(-t +1 ) $DELAY$ x (-(t-to)+1))=x(1-t+to) $


These two outputs are not the same and hence the above system is not linear time invariant
