Part C: Linearity

My definition of linearity in terms of systems is:

A system whose output combined with a linear shift is equivalent to the output if the linear shift is on the input of the system.


An example of a linear system is:

$ x(t) = t + 3 $

To prove this:

$ Y_1(t) = A*x(t) = Z_1(t) $

$ Y_2(t) = X(At) = Z_2(t) $

$ Z_1(t) = Z_2(t) $
