Practice Question on System Invertibility

The input x(t) and the output y(t) of a system are related by the equation

y(t) = x(t + 2)

Is the system invertible (yes/no)? If you answered "yes", find the inverse of this system. If you answered "no", give a mathematical proof that the system is not invertible.

Answer 1

Yes, this system is invertible. The inverse is y(t) = x(t − 2)

Proof:

<img _fckfakelement="true" _fck_mw_math="x(t) \to \Bigg[ system 1 \Bigg] \to y(t) = x(t+2) \to \Bigg[ inverse \Bigg] \to z(t) = y(t-2) = x((t-2)+2) = x(t)" src="/rhea/images/math/1/d/2/1d2b4d20bda40bd829d0f153b098d096.png" />

Good job! For some reason, this is a problem that a lot of students get stuck on. -pm



Why does z(t)=y(t-2)?
