Given signal

\(\rm x(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1,&-1<t<1\\\ 0,& \rm elsewhere \end{matrix}\right.\)

F1 Madhuri Engineering 10.05.2022 D1

h(t) = δ(t + 1) + 2δ(t + 2)

F1 Madhuri Engineering 10.05.2022 D2

According to convolution property of impulse

x(t) ⋆ δ(t - t0) = x(t - t0)

∴ x(t) ⋆ h(t) = x(t) ⋆ [δ(t + 1) + 2δ(t + 2)]

= x(t + 1) + 2x(t + 2)

Therefore, correct option is (3)
