- If isn't involved, then you can plug n chug with the integral. The u(t) will change the limits, which can be impractical to evaulate if you have more than 2.
Convolution: A visual approach
- Flip: Flip one about the dependant axis
- Shift: The initial flipped function is at . Shift this function for the multiply & integrate
- Multiply: Multiply the two functions
- Add/Integrate: You may need to make multiple equations for different intersections
