Homework Statement


[itex]x(t) = cos(3πt)[/itex]
[itex]h(t) = e<sup>-2t</sup>u(t)[/itex]

Find [itex]y(t) = x(t) * h(t)[/itex](ie convolution)

Homework Equations


Y(s) = X(s)H(s) and then take inverse laplace tranform of Y(s)

The Attempt at a Solution


[itex]L(x(t)) = \frac{s}{s^2+9π^2}[/itex]
[itex]L(h(t)) = \frac{1}{s+2}[/itex]

I then try to find the partial fractions but it looks more complicated than it should be..

Show us your partial fractions work. It shouldn't be all that hard.
