First off u[n] is nonzero for any value of n >= 0. The delta function is nonzero only for when n-k=0 or n=k. Since n must be >=0 then the values of k must conform to 0=<k<=15. This makes the function behave like u[n]-u[n-15]. I am not sure if this is completely correct. | First off u[n] is nonzero for any value of n >= 0.

Answer 1
First off u[n] is nonzero for any value of n >= 0. The delta function is nonzero only for when n-k=0 or n=k. Since n must be >=0 then the values of k must conform to 0=<k<=15. This makes the function behave like u[n]-u[n-15]. I am not sure if this is completely correct.
