Question
**Find the value of the given integral.**

\[
\int_{0^-}^{0^+} \left(-2e^{-3t}u(t) + 9\delta(t)\right) dt
\]

**The value of the given integral is** \_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_.

**Explanation:**

This expression involves an integral with limits from \(0^-\) to \(0^+\). The integral includes two components: 

1. \(-2e^{-3t}u(t)\): This part of the integrand includes the unit step function \(u(t)\), which is 0 for \(t < 0\) and 1 for \(t \ge 0\). However, it will not contribute to the integral within the limits \(0^-\) to \(0^+\) because the interval effectively closes at the point \(t = 0\) and \(u(t)\) is 0 just below zero.

2. \(9\delta(t)\): This part involves the Dirac delta function \(\delta(t)\), which is zero everywhere except at \(t = 0\), where it is infinite such that its integral over the entire real line is 1. The contribution of this part at \(t = 0\) is exactly given by the coefficient of the \(\delta(t)\), which is 9.

Therefore, solving the integral over the interval \(0^-\) to \(0^+\), the only contributing term is from the \(\delta(t)\), resulting in a value of 9.
