Inverse Laplace Transformation of Inverse Tan function

In summary, the problem is to find the inverse Laplace Transform of F(s) = s cot^-1(s). The first step is to note that cot^-1(s) is equal to tan^-1(1/s). Then, the convolution theorem can be used to solve the problem. It is also recommended to use latex for easier and clearer notation.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


i know that f(t)=L-1(F(s))=(-1/t)L-1(F'(s))
and d/ds(1/tan-1(x))=1/x^2 +1
but the example I'm given with an inverse laplace of tan-1 is way prettier than this problem. hint?

Well, the first thing to note is that
[tex]\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{s}\right)=\cot^{-1}{(s)}.[/tex]​

Do you know the convolution theorem?

Also, if you're not going to use latex, please use the "sup" and "sub" buttons (they're the buttons that look like [tex]\text{X}^2[/tex] and [tex]\text{X}_2[/tex]). And make sure you use parentheses for the denominators of fractions. That said, I highly recommend you learn at least some basic latex. It's not very difficult.
