   Hint

   It involves an integral of a product of two functions.

2. 2.

   What does the commutative property of convolution state?

   Hint

   Think about the order of function multiplication.

3. 3.

   What is the result of (\mathcal{L}^{-1}{F(s) \cdot G(s)}?

   • Convolution of functions
   • Addition of functions
   • Multiplication of functions

   Hint

   Think about what operation combines two functions into one.

4. 4.

   The Convolution Theorem applies to what type of functions?

   • True
