Linear system
SYSTEM: y = 3x(t) - 10 a.) 1X1(t) --> SYSTEM --> 3Y1(t) - 10 b.) 4X2(t) --> SYSTEM --> 12Y2(t) - 10 We can do the following proof to show that the above system is linear. Take two random constant numbers such as 9 and 6. Now multiply the output from "a" by 9. Then multiply the output from "b" by 6. Now take their sum. (27Y(t) - 90) + (72Y(t)-60)) = 99Y(t)-150
Non Linear System
An example of a linear system is shown below: x1(t) --> system --> y1(t) x2(t) --> system --> y2(t)
