Homework Statement


A continuous-time system has the input/output relationship

[tex]y(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{t} (t - \lambda + 2)x(\lambda) d\lambda[/tex]

Determine the impulse response h(t) of the system

Homework Equations


Convolution theorems

[tex]y(t) = x(t) * h(t)[/tex]
Where y(t) is the output, x(t) is the input and h(t) is the impulse response


The Attempt at a Solution


I have absolutely no clue how to obtain the impulse response, going backwards in a CT domain from the given equation above. Can anyone give me some hints to start me off?

Express the convolution as an integral. Compare this integral with the problem statement and obtain a function of the form [itex]h(t-\lambda)[/itex]. It should not be too difficult then to determine [itex]h(t)[/itex].
