VIP If you want to refer to the input signal and output signal for one part of a problem
when solving a later part, use that part's letter as a subscript, e.g., you can refer to the
input signal and corresponding output signal for part (d) of Prob. 1 as xd(t) and Yd(t),
respectively.

VIP: Solving and part, you can just write: z(t)= Formula A with a=-3 and b =-2 BUT
don't have to write out Formula A substituting a=-3 and b=-2. Just use z(t) for remainder
of your solution.

1 1
Formula A: e"'u(t) * eb'u(t) = --e"'u(t) + --eb'u(t) (1)
a-b b-a

Formula B: a"u[n] * /3nu[n] = °' _13 a"u[n] + /3 _/3 °'Bnu[n]

Q

FormulaC: if x(t)•h(t)=y(t) then: ax(t-ti)•bh(t-t2 )=aby(t-(t 1 +t 2 )) (3)

Formula D: if x[n]•h[n] = y[n] then: a x[n-ni]•b h[n-n2 ] =ab y[n-(n 1 +n 2 )] (4)

Formula E: e"'u(t) • e"'u(t) = te"'u(t) (5)

Formula F: anu[n] * anu[n] = (n + l)a"u[n] (6)
