a. Is the system linear? Justify your answer. (2 pts)
No. due to the cosine function
b. Is the system time-invariant? Justify your answer. (2 pts)
Yes, after we apply definition
c. Is the system causal? Justify your answer. (2 pts)
No, y(t) dependents on future values of x(t)
d. Is the system memoryless? Justify your answer. (2 pts)
No, y(t) depends on future values of x(t)
e. Is the system stable? Justify your answer. (2 pts)
Yes. X(t) is bounded and so is cos[2(x(t+1)]. This implies that y(t) is
bounded.
