Limits of Integration

The system G has impulse respnse

g(t) = e−1.5t σ(t)

If the input to the system is

u(t) = e−t σ(t)

the output can be found using the convolution integral


as
� ∞
y(t) = g(t − τ )u(τ ) dτ
�−∞

= e−1.5(t−τ ) σ(t − τ )e−τ σ(τ ) dτ


−∞
�?
= e−1.5(t−τ ) e−τ dτ
?

What should the limits of integration be if t > 0?
