SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the simplification of convolution properties involving the Delta Dirac function. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the definition of convolution and how the limits of integration are influenced by the conditions of t, specifically whether t is greater than or less than zero. The key takeaway is that mastering these concepts allows for a clearer understanding of how the convolution of the Delta Dirac function operates within different contexts.

How were they able to simplify the following?

I understand the distributive property and how the convolution component of the delta dirac function worked but I do not understand how the second term convoluted becomes what it is.

Thank you for your time

If I'm missing pre-requisite knowledge where would I got acquire this?
 
All you need is to use the definition of convolution. You should find that the limits of integration depend on whether t>0 or t<0.
