### Convolution of Discrete-Time Signals

Consider the discrete-time sequences \( x[n] \) and \( h[n] \) defined for all \( n \):

\[ x[n] = \begin{cases}
(-2)^n, & \text{if } n < 0 \\
3^{-n}, & \text{if } n \geq 0
\end{cases} \]

and

\[ h[n] = \delta[n] - 2\delta[n - 1] + 3\delta[n - 2] - 4\delta[n - 3] \]

where \( \delta[n] \) is the discrete-time unit impulse function.

### Objective

Determine the convolution \( y[n] = (x \ast h)[n] \) by working in the time domain.

### Approach

1. **Recall the Convolution Sum:**
\[ y[n] = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k] h[n-k] \]

2. **Break into Four Separate Cases:**
The convolution \( y[n] \) will be evaluated by considering different ranges of \( n \). These ranges are typically chosen to simplify the evaluation of the convolution sum by taking advantage of the non-zero extents of \( x[n] \) and \( h[n] \).

### Range Considerations

1. **Case 1: \( n < 0 \)**
   - Both \( x[n] \) and \( h[n] \) primarily interact when \( n \) is less than 0.
 
2. **Case 2: \( n = 0 \)**
   - Evaluation at the transition point where \( x[n] \) switches from \( (-2)^n \) to \( 3^{-n} \).
 
3. **Case 3: \( 0 < n < 3 \)**
   - For this range, \( x[n] = 3^{-n} \), and \( h[n] \) has impulse responses affecting up to \( n=3 \).

4. **Case 4: \( n \geq 3 \)**
   - Here, \( x[n] = 3^{-n} \), and \( h[n] \)'s influence can be fully considered within the convolution sum due to the impulse responses up to \( n-3 \). 

Each case will be specific
