MATLAB Matlab code looking good? EE_Signals

Homework Statement

Graph of x(t) = 9e^-2t for t>=0 and y(t) = 4e^(-9*pi*t).

Is my MATLAB code correct? I did it by hand and I'm getting a different answer, so I don't know which one is the correct one... if my hand one is correctly done or if the MATLAB one is correct. I'm learning MATLAB on my own since our professor doesn't require it... he thinks that we'll rely on it too much, but here's my attempt @ it.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

t = 1:7;
x = 9*exp(-2*t);
v = 4*exp(-9*pi*t);
a = conv(x,v);
plot(t,a(1:length(t)))
xlabel('values for t')
ylabel('x(t) * v(t) value')

anyone?

Why are you using convolution when you are only asked to graph the functions?

he prob means graph the conv of the two functions.

t = 1:7;

Careful with your vector, you need to set the time instances. 0.01 is usually a good one

t = 1:0.01:7;

Your t value should be dependent on the function's piecewise linear limits. Did you pick a random t value?
