7. Let x(t) and y(t) be given in Fig. 7 (a) and 7 (b) respectively. Sketch the following
signals.
(a) x(t) y(t-1) (b) x(t-1) y(-t) (c) x(t+1) y(t-2) (d) x(t)y(-1-t) (e) x(t) y(2-t)
(f) x(2t) y((1/2)t+1) (g) x(4-t) y(t)
8. Fig. 8 shows the staircase like signal x(t) that may be viewed as the superposition of four
rectangular pulses. Express x(t) in terms of g(t).
