The system is time variant because of the following example:
  
I'm assuming <math>n\,</math> is the variable I will be applying the time shift to. I looked at some other peoples work and although they all thought <math>k\,</math> was the time variable, I think <math>k\,</math> is just the time step moving the function forward relative to some time position <math>n\,</math>. In other words , <math>k=2\,</math> doesn't mean time = 2 sec, it just means 2 time steps ahead of time <math>n\,</math>. Another reason I chose <math>n\,</math> to be the time variable is because when you discussed the sifting property in class you sifted by <math>n_0\,</math>, not <math>k\,</math>.

Question 6a

The system is time variant because of the following example:

Dealing with the following system

$ X_k[n]=Y_k[n] \, $


where

$ X_k[n]=\delta[n-k]\, $


and

$ Y_k[n]=(k+1)^2 \delta[n-(k+1)] \, $


Consider the input and output of the system when k = 0

$ X_0[n]=\delta[n]\, $


and

$ Y_0[n]=\delta[n-1] \, $


If I time shift the input by $ n_0\, $ , then run it through the system I obtain:

$ X_0[n] \longrightarrow X_0[n-n_0] \longrightarrow Y_1[n]=\delta[n-n_0-1], $


but this isn't equal to running the input through the system, then time shifting the output by $ n_0\, $

$ X_0[n] \longrightarrow Y_1[n]=4\delta[n-1] \longrightarrow Y_1[n-n_0]=4\delta[n-n_0-1]\, $

Question 6b

Assuming this system is linear, an input $ X_0[n]=u[n]\, $ would result in an output $ Y_0[n]=u[n-1]\, $.
