Problem 2.1
1. Π (2t + 5) = Π 2 t + 52 . This indicates first we have to plot Π(2t) and then shift it to left by

2. A plot is shown below:

2. n=0 Λ(t − n) is a sum of shifted triangular pulses. Note that the sum of the left and right side
of triangular pulses that are displaced by one unit of time is equal to 1, The plot is given below

3. It is obvious from the definition of sgn(t) that sgn(2t) = sgn(t). Therefore x3 (t) = 0.
4. x4 (t) is sinc(t) contracted by a factor of 10.

3. x[n] = 4 u−1 (n/4) − ( 4 − 1)u−1 (n/4 − 1). For n < 0, x[n] = 0, for 0 ≤ n ≤ 3, x[n] = 4 and
n n
for n ≥ 4, x[n] = 4 − 4 + 1 = 1.
