Laplace Transform Integration: Tips & Solutions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Laplace Transform is defined as the integration of e^(-st)f(t) with respect to the variable t, treating s as a constant. To perform this integration, one must apply standard integration techniques while keeping s fixed. This discussion clarifies that the integration process is straightforward once the relationship between the variables is understood. Mastery of this concept is essential for effectively utilizing the Laplace Transform in various applications.

This question may be obvious but I am stumped. I know the definition of a Laplace Transform is integration of e^(-st)f(t). However, I don't know how to integrate with both s and t variables included. If anyone could provide insight I would appreciated it.

The integration is only over the variable t and you treat s as a constant.
 
thanks, I knew it was simple
