Question
The Heaviside step function, H(x), is defined as follows: H(x)=1 for x 0 H(x)=0 for x < 0. Graph the Heaviside function, then sketch graphs of the following transformations of H: (a) y = H(x) 2 (b) y = H(x + 2) (c) y = 3H(x)+4
Solution
The first step in solving 6-5 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The Heaviside step function, H(x), is defined as follows: H(x)=1 for x 0 H(x)=0 for x < 0. Graph the Heaviside function, then sketch graphs of the following transformations of H: (a) y = H(x) 2 (b) y = H(x + 2) (c) y = 3H(x)+4
From the textbook chapter COMBINING TRANSFORMATIONS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
