How to make a graphical representaiton of this continuous signal x(-1.5t+1)

93 Views Asked by At

So let's suppose this is the $x(t)$ signal:

enter image description here

This is what i know

  • $x(t+1)$ should be shifted by 1 on $y$ axis , so the signal will start from $-1$ and end to $1$ instead of $0$ to $2$
  • $x(-t)$ will reflect the signal
  • $x(1.5t)$ will suppress the signal by $1.5$

How can i correctly calculate and make a graphical representation of $x(-1.5t+1)$ ?

Note: I'm new with with this kind of mathematics and expressions , any edit would be appriciated!

If you just want the graph, then you can use the following sequence: $$x(t) \xrightarrow{\text{suppress}} x(1.5t) \xrightarrow{\text{reflect}}x(-1.5t) \xrightarrow{\text{shift by} \frac{2}{3}}x(-1.5t+1).$$

If you want algebraically then, you first need to find $x(t)$ from the graph. From the graph given, $$x(t)= \begin{cases} 0 & \text{ if } t \leq 0 \text{ or } t \geq 2\\ 1 & \text{ if } 0 <t \leq 1\\ 2-t & \text{ if } 1 < t <2. \end{cases}$$ Now you can compute the composite function $x(-1.5t+1)$.
