∴ 𝒚(𝒕) = 𝒕𝟐 − 𝟖𝒕 + 𝟏𝟔 ,𝟐 ≤ 𝒕 < 𝟒

Another Approach:
If you solve this the other way by fixing 𝒇𝟏 (𝒕) and moving 𝒇𝟐 (𝒕) from −∞ to ∞, you
should get the same final results. Try it for practice ☺

Problem 3:
Find and sketch the response 𝒚(𝒕) of the LTI system with impulse response 𝒉(𝒕) to the input 𝒙(𝒕).
𝒙(𝒕) = 𝒂𝒕 + 𝒃

Solution:
1. We can decompose 𝒉(𝒕) into two functions 𝒉𝟏 (𝒕) and 𝒉𝟐 (𝒕) as follows:
𝟒
, 𝟎<𝒕<𝟏 −𝟏
𝒉𝟏 (𝒕) = { 𝟑 & 𝒉𝟐 (𝒕) = 𝜹(𝒕 − 𝟐)
𝟑
𝟎 , 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒆
Recall that
−𝟏 −𝟏 −𝟏
𝒚𝟐 (𝒕) = 𝒙(𝒕 − 𝟐) = [𝒂(𝒕 − 𝟐) + 𝒃] = [𝒂𝒕 − 𝟐𝒂 + 𝒃]

2. We can compute 𝒚𝟏 (𝒕) as follows:
It is easier to shift 𝒉𝟐 (𝒕) and fix 𝒙(𝒕)
