I am a bit confused.

The function is y=x(2t)
and the point of it is to show the property of time-invariance.(which we should fail in this example, because it isn't time invariant.)
Input signal is x1(t)
Output signal is shown for that signal y1(t)
But when you shift it, x1(t-2) it doesn't give y1(t-2).
I am both ok and not ok with that. First let's go over the math.
If I shift my signal x1(t) by -2
I get [itex] y_2(t)=x(2(t-2)) [/itex]
Is that correct?
But that is [itex] y_2(t)=x(2(t-2))=x(2t-4) [/itex] and that is original signal, shifted by 4, and then scaled by 2, which is not what it should be.
y2(0)=x(-4) which is 0, not 1.
I am probably stuck on something simple, but nevertheless I am stuck.
