Verify that the impulse response of this system is ##h(t) = e^{-2t}u(t)## for the following system $$\frac{dy(t)}{dt} + 2y(t) = x(t)$$ So this is what I did first, $$ \begin{align} \frac{dh(t)}{dt} + 2h(t) &= \delta (t) \\ \frac{d}{dt}e^{-2t}u(t) + 2e^{-2t}u(t) &= \delta (t) \\ -2e^{-2t}u(t) +...

So, the convolution of two signals is described as follows: $$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(\tau)h(t-\tau) \, d\tau $$ The figure shows the given signals. Now, as described in the convolution integral, I transformed ##h(t)## to ##h(-\tau)## by flipping the signal horizontally. So, now I have an...
