SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding the inverse Laplace transforms of two functions: $\frac{n\pi L}{L^2s^2+n^2 \pi^{2}}$ and $\frac{18s-12}{9s^2-1}$. The second function was successfully decomposed using partial fractions, yielding the inverse transform $3e^{-\frac{1}{3}t}-e^{\frac{1}{3}t}$. For the first function, the correct approach involves factoring out $\frac{1}{L^2}$, leading to the result $\sin\left(\frac{n\pi}{L}\right)t$ as the inverse Laplace transform.
