Inverse laplace transofrm of natural logarithm

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the inverse Laplace transform of the function ln((s+2)/(s-5)) using the property of the inverse Laplace transform of derivatives. The key equation referenced is L^{-1}{d^{n}/ds^{n}F(S)} = (-1)^{n}t^{n}f(t). The user initially misinterprets the approach but later realizes that setting n = -1 allows for the integration of F(S), which is crucial for solving the problem. This method clarifies the relationship between differentiation and integration in the context of Laplace transforms.

Homework Statement



the inverse laplace transform of ln\frac{s+2}{s-5} using the inverse Laplace transform of the derivative

Homework Equations

L^{-1}{\frac{d^{n}}{ds^{n}}F(S)} = (-1)^{n}t^{n}f(t)

The Attempt at a Solution



the integral of ln\frac{s+2}{s-5} I worked to be (s+2)ln(s+2)-(s+2) -(s-5)ln(s-5)+(s-5). So if this is F(S) then i still have no idea how to inverse it using the inverse Laplace transform of the derivative

somehow i think I am going down the wrong road... ?

ok, i think i got it!

i go the other way and make n = -1

I have never seen this but just to clear this up: if \frac{d}{ds}}F(S) is the derivative of F(S) then \frac{d^{-1}}{ds^{-1}}F(S) is the same as the integration of F(S) right?
