Prove that convolution in linear time invariant systems is commutative.



I'm trying to show that $int_-infty^inftyx(tau)h(t-tau)dtau = int_-infty^inftyx(t - tau)h(tau)dtau $ but I think I may be misunderstanding something.



By change of variables for integration, I let $u=t-tau$ and therefore with the limits of integration $u(-infty) = t - (-infty) = infty$ and $u(infty) = t - (infty) = -infty$.



And I get $-int_-infty^inftyx(t - u)h(u)du$. But this seems like the appropriate way to change variables, am I missing something here?

    If $u = t - tau$, then $du= -dt$, right?

You are on the right path, but you forget to change the $dtau$.
we have $$u=t-tau$$
which implies $$du=-dtau $$
Voila!
