Hey, I have been studying differential equations a bit and was wanting some help on some proofs. There are 3 laplace transforms I would like proofs for. Not really sure where to get started or if someone could lead me to place that has these proofs I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Have you tried just integrating?

The definition of the Laplace transform of f(x) is
\int_0^\infty e^{-sx}f(x)dx

The transform of the delta function is pretty close to trivial:
\int_0^\infty e^{-sx}\delta(x)dx= e^{0x}= 1

For f(x)= x^ne^{ax}u(x) do repeated integration by parts letting u= x^n, dv= e^{ax}u(x) until you have reduced the power of x to 0.

For f(t-t_0)u(t-t_0) do the obvious substitution: let v= t- t_0.
 
Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
