What is the most practical way to find the inverse Laplace transform?

[tandoorichicken]

How can I find the inverse Laplace transform of the following function?

$$Y(s) = \frac{1}{s^2 + \frac{1}{s}}$$

tandoorichicken, the best way I have learn to solve inverse Laplace transform is look up on the table (no one is expect to know all the transfroms)

How can I find the inverse Laplace transform of the following function?

$$Y(s) = \frac{1}{s^2 + \frac{1}{s}}$$

How about

$$Y(s) = \frac{s}{s^3 + 1}$$

and look-up here

Yes, the most practical way to invert laplace transforms is to look them up in a table. If you are interested in a more direct way, you can use the general formula for the inverse laplace transform. But since all the important transforms are in a table, you rarely have to use this.
