(a) Determine and justify if the system 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡) + 𝑡 − 1 is

(i) Memoryless [2 Marks]

answer. [3 Marks]

QUESTION 3 [20 MARKS]

(a) Consider a discrete-time LTI system with impulse response, ℎ[𝑛] and input signal,
𝑥[𝑛] as given below:

ℎ[𝑛] = 3𝛿[𝑛 − 2] + 2𝛿[𝑛 + 1] + 𝛿[𝑛 − 1] − 𝛿[𝑛]

(b) An input signal 𝑥(𝑡) = 3𝑢(𝑡 − 3) is applied to an LTI system with an impulse
response ℎ(𝑡) = 3𝑒 3𝑡 𝑢(−𝑡). Determine the output of the system 𝑦(𝑡) by using
convolution for all values of 𝑡. Show your complete working.
