(s +5/2)3. (11)
Now it’s clear that we should use
L{

=F (s− a)� L−1{F (s− a)}= eat f(t). (12)
We have a =− 5/2 and F (s)=3

s3. Now recall
L{

We have

{

}
=3
16t2. (14)
Therefore the answer is3
16t2 e−5t/2. (15)
Solution 2. (7.4 18)
1. First check that the degree of the numerator is less than that of thedenominator.
2. Factorize the denominator:
s4 + s3 = s3 (s + 1). (16)

We need
3 s2 + 5 s + 3= As2 (s + 1) +B s (s +1)+ C (s +1)+ D s3. (19)
− Setting s =0: C = 3.− Setting s =− 1: −D = 1� D =− 1.− Comparing coefficients for s3: 0= A+ D� A = 1.− Comparing coefficients for s2: 3= A+ B� B = 2.

Solution 3. (7.4 24)
1. Check degree of numerator < degree of denominator.
2. Factorize denominator. Already done as
s2− 4 s + 13= (s− 2)2 + 32 (21)
cannot be factorized any further.
3. Write down the form of the expansion:
7 s2− 41 s + 84
(s− 1) (s2− 4 s + 13)=
A
s− 1+
B (s− 2)+ 3C
(s− 2)2 + 32. (22)
4. Determine the coefficients.
First write
A
s− 1+
B (s− 2) +3 C
(s− 2)2 + 32=
A[
(s− 2)2+ 9
]
+ [B (s− 2) + 3 C] (s− 1)
(s− 1)[
(s− 2)2 +32] . (23)
Therefore
7 s2− 41 s+ 84= A[
(s− 2)2 + 9
]
+ [B (s− 2)+ 3C] (s− 1). (24)
− Setting s =1: 50= 10A� A= 5.
− Setting s =2: 30= 9A +3 C� C =− 5.
− Comparing coefficients for s2: 7= A+ B� B = 2.
So the partial fraction expansion reads
7 s2− 41 s + 84
(s− 1) (s2− 4 s + 13)=
5
s− 1+
2 (s− 2)− 5 · 3
(s− 2)2 + 32. (25)
5. Computing the inverse transform.
We have
L−1{F } = L−1
{
5
s− 1+
2 (s− 2)− 5 · 3
(s− 2)2 +32
}
= L−1

Solution 4. (7.4 34) Note that ln(
s − 4
s − 3
)
is not similar to anything in the
transformation table. However, if we taked
dswe get
F ′(s)= [ln(s− 4)− ln(s− 3)]′ =
1
s− 4−
1
s− 3(27)
which can be easily inverted.Now recall
L{tn f(t)}= (− 1)nF (n)(s)� L−1
{
F (n)(s)}
= (− t)n
f(t). (28)
We have
L−1{F ′(s)}= e4t − e3t =(− t) f(t) � f(t) =e3t − e4t
t. (29)
Solution 5. (7.5 10)
1. Transform the LHS (left hand side):
L{y ′′− 4 y} = L{y ′′}− 4L{y}
= s2 Y − s y(0)− y ′(0)− 4 Y
=(
s2− 4)
Y − 5. (30)
2. Transform the RHS:
L{
4 t− 8 e−2t}
= 4L{t}− 8L{
e−2t}
= 41
s2− 8
1
s +2. (31)
3. The transformed equation reads
(
s2− 4)
Y − 5=4
s2−
8
s + 2(32)
which gives
Y (s)=5
s2− 4+
4
s2 (s2− 4)−
8
(s2− 4) (s +2). (33)
4. Compute the inverse transform.First write
Y (s)=5 s2 (s + 2)+ 4 (s+ 2)− 8 s2
s2 (s2− 4) (s + 2). (34)
Factorize the denominator:
s2(
s2− 4)
(s + 2) = s2 (s + 2)2(s− 2). (35)
So the expansion takes the form
Y (s)=A
s+
B
s2+
C
s+ 2+
D
(s + 2)2+
E
s− 2(36)

which gives
5 s2 (s + 2) + 4 (s + 2) − 8 s2 = (A s + B) (s + 2)2
(s − 2) +
[C (s + 2) +D] s2 (s− 2)+ E s2 (s + 2)2. (37)
− Setting s =0: 8=− 8B� B =− 1.− Setting s =2: 64= 64E� E =1.− Setting s =− 2: − 32=− 16D� D =2.− Comparing coefficients for s4: 0= A+ C + E� A+ C =− 1.− Comparing coefficients for s:1 4=− 8 A− 4B� A= 0.− Thus A+ C =− 1� C =− 1.Summarizing, we have

This gives
L−1{Y }=− t− e−2t + 2 e−2t t + e2t. (39)
Solution 6. (7.5 28)
1. Transform the LHS:
L{y ′′′+ y ′′+ 3 y ′− 5 y} = L{y ′′′}+L{y ′′}+ 3L{y ′}− 5L{y}
= s3 Y − s2 y(0)− s y ′(0)− y ′′(0)
+ s2 Y − s y(0)− y ′(0)
+3 s Y − 3 y(0)+5 Y
=(
s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5)
Y
− 2 s +4− 2
=(
s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5)
Y − 2 s +2. (40)
2. Transform the RHS:
L{
16 e−t}
= 16L{
e−t}
= 161
s +1. (41)
3. The transformed equation reads
(
s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5)
Y − 2 s+ 2 =16
s +1(42)
which gives
Y =2 s− 2
(s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5)+
16
(s3 + s2 +3 s− 5) (s + 1). (43)
4. Computing the inverse transform.We have
Y =2 (s− 1) (s+ 1)+ 16
(s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5) (s + 1). (44)
1. The reason is that, by observation we see most of the terms on both sidescontains a factor s2 so they won’t contribute to the linear term s.

![Page 7: Laplace](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081817/5695d0041a28ab9b02908eb2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
First we need to factorize the denominator. To do this, we need to guessa root for s3 + s2 + 3 s− 5. Try s =1 and we are lucky. So we factorize
s3 + s2 +3 s− 5 = (s− 1)(
s2 + 2 s +5)
= (s− 1)[
(s +1)2 + 22
]
. (45)
Thus we write
Y =A
s +1+
B
s− 1+
C (s + 1)+ 2D
(s + 1)2 +22. (46)
This gives
2 s2 + 14 = A (s− 1)[
(s + 1)2 +4
]
+B (s + 1)[
(s +1)2 +4
]
+ [C (s + 1)+ 2D] (s + 1) (s− 1). (47)
− Setting s =1: 16= 16B� B = 1;− Setting s =− 1: 16=− 8 A� A=− 2;− Comparing s3: 0= A+ B + C� C = 1;− Setting s =0: 14=− 5 A+ 5 B − [C + 2D]� D = 0.So
Y =− 2
s +1+

s− 1+
s + 1
(s + 1)2 +22. (48)
Taking inverse transform:
y =− 2 e−t + et + e−t cos 2 t. (49)
Solution 7. (7.5 36)
1. Transform the LHS:
L{t y ′′− t y ′+ y} = L{t y ′′}−L{t y ′}+L{y}
= −d

Y ′+ (2− 2 s)Y + 2. (50)
2. Transform the RHS:
L{2}=2

This is a linear equation which can be re-written into the standard form:
Y ′+2
sY =
2
s2. (53)
The integrating factor is
e∫ 2
s = s2. (54)
Apply this integrating factor we obtain
[
s2 Y]′
= 2� Y =1
s2 [2 s +C] =2
s+
C
s2. (55)
4. Taking inverse transform. We get
y = 2 +C t. (56)
5. Now using y ′(0) =− 1 again, we get C =− 1. So the solution is
y = 2− t. (57)
Solution 8. (7.6 14) Spotting e−3s we know that we need to use
L{f(t)u(t− a)}= e−asL{f(t + a)} (58)
which gives
L−1{
e−as F (s)}
=u(t− a) f(t− a). (59)
In this problem F (s)=1
s2 + 9and a = 3. We compute
f(t) =L−1
{
1
s2 + 9
}
=1
3sin 3 t (60)
Therefore
L−1
{
e−3s
s2 + 9
}
=1
3u(t− 3) sin 3 (t− 3). (61)
Solution 9. (7.6 26) It is clear that the function is periodic with perioda. To compute its Laplace transform we need to first write down its formulain one period [0, a]. Inside this interval the function is linear (because itsgraph is a straight line) so
f(t) =A t +B for 0 <t < a. (62)
Now as f(0) =0, f(a) =1, we have f(t)= t/a.Now recall the formula for transforming a function with period T :
L{f }(s)=
∫
0
Te−st f(t) dt
1− e−sT. (63)
We have here T = a and f(t)= t/a from 0 to a. Thus
L{f }(s)=
∫

ae−st t/adt
1− e−sa=
1− e−as − a s e−as

1. Transform the LHS:

=(
s2 +3 s + 2)
Y − 2 s+ 1− 6
=(
s2 +3 s + 2)
Y − 2 s− 5. (65)
2. Transform the RHS:
First write
g(t)= e−t + u(t− 3)(

. (66)
Now compute

B

We need

Remark. Note that as the calculation involved is quite complicated – thuserror-prone, it’s a good idea to check the validity of the solution.
− Quick Check. For equations with right hand sides that are piecewisecontinuous (that is the RHS is totally good except for a few jump dis-continuities), the solution should be continuous. Thus if y = p(t) +u(t− 3) q(t), q(3) must be 0. We check

2+ e−3− 1+

2− e−3 = 0. (86)
Indeed.Note that “quick check” does not fully guarantee the correctness of
the solution. Use this only when you do not have enough time to do thefull check.
− Full Check. To do a full check, we need to write
y(t) =
2 e−t + e−t t t < 3
2 e−t + e−t t +1
2+
(
4− t− e3)
e−t +e6
− 2 e3
2e−2t t > 3
(87)
which simplifies to
y(t) =
2 e−t + e−t t t < 31
2+
(

− 2 e3
2e−2t t > 3
(88)
Now for t < 3 we substitute y = 2 e−t + e−t t and get2
y ′′+3 y ′+ 2 y = e−t; (89)
For t > 3 we substitute y =1

2e−2t and get3
y ′′+ 3 y ′+ 2 y = 1. (90)
2. In fact only need to substitute y = e−t t as e−t solves the homogeneousequation y ′′ +3 y ′ + 2 y = 0.
3. Similarly, the trick to speed up the checking here is to recall that e−t ande−2t solves y ′′ + 3 y ′ +2 y = 0, so only need to substitute y =1/2.
