1. For signals f (t) and g(t) given as
f (t) =
2t
0t1
3t 1<t2
0
otherwise
and
g(t) = (t + 3) + 2(t) + (t 3)
(a) Determine the convolution w(t) = f (t) ? g(t) via the analytical approach.
(b) Plot w(t)
2. For the two signals
f (t) =
X
i=0
u(t i)
and
g(t) = exp(3t)u(t)
(a) Compute f (t) ? g(t)
(b) Compute ( dfdt(t) ) ? g(t).
3. For signal x(t) =
1
1+t
u(t):
(a) Sketch x(t) versus t.
(b) Find and sketch x(t) ? u(t) where u(t) is the unit step function

4. We have two systems with impulse response functions
h1 = 2u(t)
and
h2 (t) = (t + 1)[u(t) u(t 1)]
Find the impulse response of the following two systems
(a) Cascade (series) combination of h1 (t) and h2 (t).
(b) Parallel combination of h1 (t) and h2 (t).
hint: check slides 29-30 of lecture 6 (section 1).
