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.

please help me with this question

Find the laplace transformation of this function

i(t)=(t)(e^t)(sinkt)

i really don't know how to do!

The Laplace Transform is defined as:

Y(s) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-st}y(t)dt

where y(t) is the function you wish to find the Laplacian of.

In this example, the integral would be:

\int_{0}^{\infty} te^{-st}e^tsin(kt)dt

...which is unbelievably ugly.

Have you learned about convolution yet? This is a pretty nasty problem, unless I'm missing something, which it seems probable that I am.

You didnt miss anything, i can do up to this stage, but it contain 3 t in it, I don't really know how to solve it!
 
1. Since the integral of the e^((1-s)t)*sin(kt) will "rotate" during integration by parts (i.e. you will gain back a multiple of what you began integrating), evaluating the integral of this function alone should pose no problems.
(Assuming s>1, that is)

2. You can now go back to the original problem, using integration by parts to eliminate the t-factor.

3. Alternatively, you might use the complex exponential as a simplifying measure.

That's what I would do, too. The beautiful thing about that is that, not only is it a lot easier to calculate, but it also gives you TWO Laplace transforms simultaneously.

mak_wilson, I would recommend that you take this suggestion. Make the replacement:

sin(kt)--->eikt

and take the imaginary part at the end.

Here is a solution,
