Problem 2 (10): Convolute the following two causal functions. 𝑓(𝑡) ∗ 𝑔(𝑡) =?

Problem 3 (10 Points):


𝑒 !" , 𝑡 ≥ 0 𝑒 !#" , 𝑡 ≥ 0
Given 𝑓(𝑡) = 1 , ℎ(𝑡) = 1 . Compute the convolution 𝑓(𝑡) ∗ ℎ(𝑡) using
0, 𝑡 < 0 0, 𝑡 < 0
the graphical approach. Note that it is equivalent to write these functions as 𝑓(𝑡) =
𝑒 !" 𝑢(𝑡) ℎ(𝑡) = 𝑒 !#" 𝑢(𝑡) where 𝑢(𝑡) is the unit step function.
