Notice: When α>0, f (t) is a growing function with t. When α<0, f (t) is a decaying function with t. When α=0, f (t) is a constant function with t.

1.2 Systems
For the most part, our view of systems will be from an input-output perspective. A system responds to applied input signals, and its response is described in terms of one or more output signals.
Continuous-time Signal — The independent variable is continuous, and thus these signals are defined for a continuum of values of the independent variable.
