Test Correction of # 3

An LTI system has unit impulse response $ h[n] = u[-n] $

Compute the system's response to the input $ x[n] = 2^{n}u[-n] $

(Simplify answer until all summation signs disappear.)

h[n] = u[-n]

x[n] = $ 2^{n} $u[-n]

y[n] = x[n] * h[n]

= $ \sum^{\infty}_{k = -\infty} 2^{k}u[-k]u[-n--k] $

since -k > 0 and k < 0 the summation parameters change

= $ \sum^{0}_{k = -\infty} 2^{k}u[-n+k] $

other step function changes parameters again

n = k

= $ sum^{0}_{k = n} 2^{k} $
