SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of the Inverse Laplace Transform to the function L-1{(3s+2)/(s²+2s+10)}. The decomposition of the fraction into partial fractions is clarified, revealing that it can be expressed as [(A)s+1/(s+1)² + 32] + [(B)3/(s+1)² + 32]. The participants emphasize the importance of recognizing that the Laplace transforms for cos(kt) and sin(kt) can be utilized, negating the need for partial fractions in this specific case.

1. L-1{(3s+2)/ (s2+2s +10)}
After completing the square I get to 3s+2 /(s+1)2 + 32 which suggests two solutions or one. They decompose the fraction into [(A)s+1 /(s+1)2 + 32 ]+ [(B) 3/(s+1)2 + 32]
I am unsure of how this decomposition works I thought that we would take A(3s) as the numerator and B(2) as the other. If some one can clarify It would be much appreciated =)

From here

(3s+2) /[(s+1)2 + 32]

Split this as

3s/[(s+1)2 + 32] + 2/[(s+1)2 + 32]

Now remember that Laplace transforms for cos(kt) and sin(kt), and apply the shift theorem. No need for partial fractions here.
