What's the best way to model the relationship between a system's continuous outputs and continuous inputs? a. ean eS With a feedback loop With subsystems With one or more transfer functions With state machine input patterns With state machine output patterns 4, What is the difference between an object and a class? a. panos A class is an object that exists at the supersystem level A class is an object that exists at the subsystem level Classes are groups of similar attributes, within an object An object is a specific instantiation of a class A class is a specific instantiation of an object
