Cascade a time delay and a time scaling

Consider the following two systems:

$ x(t) \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 1} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow y(t)=x(t+2) $

$ x(t) \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 2} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow y(t)=x(5t) $

Obtain a simple expression for the output of the following cascade:

$ x(t) \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 1} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 2} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow y(t) $


(Sorry, I don't know how to make a real "box" to represent a system. If somebody knows, please help. -pm)

Answer 1

$ x(t) \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 1} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} & & \\ & \text{system 2} & \\ & & \end{array}\right] \rightarrow y(t) = x(5(t + 2)) = x(5t + 10) $ --Cmcmican 16:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Instructors comments: Unfortunately, the answer is not correct. (I actually expected that mistake to happen. Almost everybody does it the first time.) Try to carefully write the output after each step of the cascade, and change the variable explicitely. -pm

Answer 2

write it here.

Answer 3

write it here.
