      <text><![CDATA[<p> A step function is a function whose graph looks like a series of steps because it consists of a series of horizontal line segments with jumps in-between. For this reason, it is also sometimes called a staircase function. A step function has a constant value on given intervals, but the constant is different for each interval. Given the step function \(u(t)\), this is equal to \(1\) for \(t \geq 0\), \(0\) otherwise. This is very clear in the first graph. Consider now the graph of the step function in point c); in this case, the function is equal to \(1\) for \(t \geq 1\), hence the step function can be written as \(u(t-1)\) (we can easily see that the argument of \(u\) is zero for \(t=1\)). The same arguments apply to the other graphs.</p>]]></text>
