Oct 3, 2017 at 1:18 comment added Adam Ah I was looking for \$\infty\$ but I was more worried about getting my point across. As for not having a \$\tau\$, that was just me mistranscribing my notes. So what I see here is that I need to use t to 0, instead of \$-\infty\$ to 0.
Oct 3, 2017 at 0:43 comment added The Photon Also, \$\infty\$ in Mathjax is \infty.
Oct 3, 2017 at 0:42 comment added The Photon It eleminates the problem because with the \$u(t)\$ term (flipped and shifted) you don't end up integrating out to infinity but only out to \$\tau=t\$. (Some of your equations are integrating with respect to \$\tau\$ but don't have a \$\tau\$ in the expression being integrated...I think you've missed some cases where \$t\$ gets changed to \$\tau\$.)
Oct 3, 2017 at 0:33 comment added Adam Ah, that's probably the issue with my solution. The one thing I would ask is how that might eliminate the issue? I would assume it does that because \$\int u(t)\$ is \$\delta(t)\$?
Oct 3, 2017 at 0:11 comment added The Photon Are you sure the function in your first graph is supposed to be \$e^{-t}\$ and not \$e^{-t}u(t)\$? Because the second of those is much more commonly encountered in signal processing and Laplace transform problems, and it eliminates the issue you're asking about. Also your graph as drawn appears to show \$e^{-t}u(t)\$.
