Inverse Laplace : with Convolution

In summary, the inverse Laplace transform with convolution is a mathematical operation that allows us to find the original function from its Laplace transform while also taking into account the convolution of two functions. It is important in solving differential equations involving convolution, which is common in physics, engineering, and other scientific fields. This operation is calculated using the convolution theorem and has applications in control systems, signal processing, and circuit analysis. Some tips for solving problems involving inverse Laplace transform with convolution include using tables of Laplace transforms, understanding the properties of convolution, and carefully setting up the integral for the inverse Laplace transform.

Homework Statement


Use the convolution property to obtain the inverse Laplace transform of
F(s)= e-3s * ((3s+15)/s2+25)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


= (3*(s/s2+52) + 15*(1/s2+52)) *e-3s

Using table of Laplace:
3*(s/s2+52) = 3*cos(5*t) = T7
15*(1/s2+52) = 15/5*sin(5*t) =T18
e-3s = s(t-a) = s(t-3) (T16)

=(3*cos(5*t)+15/5*sin(5*t))*s(t-3)

Convolution : int 0 to t (f(u)*g(t-u))du
integral 0 to t ((3*cos(5*u)+15/5*sin(5*u))*s((t-u)-3)) du

Something is wrong in my work here, and I can't find where. :([/SUP]

None of the above equalities are true; you have functions of s "equal" to functions of t.

=(3*cos(5*t)+15/5*sin(5*t))*s(t-3)

Convolution : int 0 to t (f(u)*g(t-u))du
integral 0 to t ((3*cos(5*u)+15/5*sin(5*u))*s((t-u)-3)) du

And you are apparently using s for two different things. With 156 posts, it is past time for you to learn to use latex. It isn't worth the effort to decipher what you have written.

Is the asterisk supposed to denote multiplication or convolution?

You need to use parentheses as appropriate. Assuming the asterisk is supposed to be multiplication, what you wrote means
$$F(s) = e^{-3s}\left(\frac 3s + \frac{15}{s^2} + 25\right),$$ which is quite different from what you intended.

Using table of Laplace:
3*(s/s2+52) = 3*cos(5*t) = T7
15*(1/s2+52) = 15/5*sin(5*t) =T18
e-3s = s(t-a) = s(t-3) (T16)

=(3*cos(5*t)+15/5*sin(5*t))*s(t-3)
Is there some reason you're not simplifying 15/5?

Convolution : int 0 to t (f(u)*g(t-u))du
integral 0 to t ((3*cos(5*u)+15/5*sin(5*u))*s((t-u)-3)) du

Why do you think something's wrong?

Besides the problems LCKurtz pointed out with what you've written, did you notice that when you wrote "=(3*cos(5*t)+15/5*sin(5*t))*s(t-3)," you never said what it was equal to and that you're using * to mean both multiplication and convolution? You should make an effort to be less sloppy, especially when you're trying to communicate with others.
