SUMMARY
The Laplace transformation of the function i(t) = (t)(e^t)(sin(kt)) can be approached using integration by parts and the complex exponential method. The integral to evaluate is Y(s) = ∫₀^∞ te^(-st)e^tsin(kt)dt, which simplifies under the assumption that s > 1. By substituting sin(kt) with e^(ikt) and taking the imaginary part afterward, one can derive the Laplace transform more efficiently. This method not only simplifies the calculation but also yields two Laplace transforms simultaneously.
