𝑛
a) (1⁄4) 𝑢[𝑛] ∗ 𝑢[𝑛 + 2]

systems with impulse responses ℎ1 (𝑡) and ℎ2 (𝑡). [5] [CO04] [BTL2]
b) Draw the interconnection of systems corresponding to the following impulse responses:
i) ℎ1 [𝑛]*{( ℎ2 [𝑛] ∗ ℎ4 [𝑛])+ ( ℎ3 [𝑛] ∗ ℎ5 [𝑛])}* ℎ6 [𝑛] [5] [CO04] [BTL2]
ii) [{ℎ1 (𝑡)}-{( ℎ2 (𝑡) + ℎ3 (𝑡))* ℎ4 (𝑡)}]* ℎ5 (𝑡)

and iii) stable. Prove/justify appropriately. [10] [CO03][BTL3]
𝑛
i) ℎ[𝑛] = (−1) 𝑢[−𝑛]
ii) ℎ(𝑡) = 𝑒 −2𝑡 𝑢(𝑡 − 1)
𝜋
