Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


1. ##\frac{1}{s+2}+\frac{1}{s^2+1}## OK
2. ##\frac{2}{s}+\frac{3}{s+4}## OK
3. ##\frac{s*sin(-2)+cos(-2)}{s^2+1}## NOT OK. If f(t) ⇔ F(s) what is the transform of f(t-T)u(t-T)? Also, this is dimensionally incorrect.The units of F(s) are the units of f(t) times time t.
4. ##\frac{1}{(s+1)^2}## OK
5. Don't really know how to do this one...You can surely do the 1st term. For the approach to the second term, see my remark for problem 3.
 
f(t-T)u(t-T) = ##e^{-as}F(s)##
##F(s)=\frac{s(sin(-2)+cos(-2)}{s^2+1}##
3. ##\frac{e^{-2s}*s*sin(-2)+cos(-2)}{s^2+1}##

5. ##(\frac{-5}{3s^2}+\frac{5}{s}) - ((\frac{-5}{3s^2}+\frac{7}{s})*e^{-4.2s})##

$3 you copied F(s) incorrectly. Correct it first.
#5 looks OK now but I don't have time right now to be sure.

a = 1, b=-2
What did I do wrong?
##F(s)=\frac{s*sin(-2)+cos(-2)}{s^2+1}##
 
rude man said:
Nothing. Sorry! But the exp(-2s) factor has to include all of F(s), i.e. you need another bracket. (Your post 3, prob. 3).
I think you have the hang of it. Good work.
thank you!
