Question 1

What differentiates a continuous-time signal from a discrete-time signal?

Continuous-time signals are defined only at specific times.
Discrete-time signals can assume any real value.
Continuous-time signals can take any value within an interval.
Discrete-time signals are continuous.

💡 Hint: Focus on how each signal is defined.

Question 2

True or False: Discrete-time signals can be represented as x[n].

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about how we record stock prices.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Explain how the conversion of a continuous audio signal to a discrete signal might affect the quality of the sound. What challenges does this present?

💡 Hint: Consider how sampling rates impact audio quality.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a scenario where you have to choose between CT and DT for a sensor measuring temperature. Discuss the implications of your choice based on signal types.

💡 Hint: Think about the nature of temperature changes — they're usually gradual.
