Yes, that will give you the Laplace transform of the convolution. But they also want you to compute the (Laplace) convolution of those two functions. I did a problem exactly like that near the end of my lecture today. Note that, from the point of view of Laplace transforms u(t) times e^t is the same as e^t.

The relevant formula is the last one on the cover page of the exam found at

That is the right idea. The left hand side will be bigger than something and the right hand side will be smaller than something, and you get an impossible situation.

I mentioned today that there will be no problems about the complex Fourier SERIES on Exam 2. The point of the question you refer to is that the integrals for the complex Fourier series are very easy to compute. To get the real Fourier series from it, you just expand the e^(inx) and e^(-inx) in terms of sine and cosine and then take the real part of what you get.
