Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the scaling property of the Dirac delta function?

💡 Hint: Think about how the argument affects both the delta function's shape and height.

Question 2

Easy

If δ(x) has an area of 1, what happens when you scale it to δ(3x)?

💡 Hint: Remember the area under the curve for the delta function should always be constant.

Question 1

What does the scaling property state for the delta function?

  • A) δ(ax) = aδ(x)
  • B) δ(ax) = (1/a)δ(x)
  • C) δ(ax) = (1/|a|)δ(x)

💡 Hint: Focus on correlating the changes to the function's amplitude.

Question 2

True or False: Scaling a delta function changes its area.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concentrated load at δ(x) is scaled by a factor of 2 (i.e., δ(2x)). How would this scaling affect the load's representation, and what would the new amplitude be?

💡 Hint: Revisit the scaling property formula to check the relationship.

Question 2

Given δ(-3x) = ? How does scaling and the negative affect the function’s properties?

💡 Hint: Remember to consider what the absolute value means for the scaling.
