4. Compute and roughly sketch y(t) = x(t) ? h(t), where x(t) = et [U (t) U (t 1)] and
h(t) = 2U (t) U (t + 1) U (t 1)
5. What is the effect of convolving any signal x(t) with h(t) = (t t0 ). Explain in words what
the effect of convolution with a shifted delta function is.
6. Compute and roughly sketch y(t) = x(t) ? h(t), where x(t) = et [U (t) U (t 1)] and
h(t) = 2U (t) U (t + 1) U (t 1)
