SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding the inverse Laplace transform of the function 1/(√(S²+2S+5)). The user expresses difficulty in locating a matching entry in the table of transforms. A solution is provided, indicating that 1/sqrt(s^2+1) corresponds to the Bessel function J0, and suggests applying scaling and shifting techniques to align it with the original expression. The transformation involves recognizing that s²+2s+5 can be rewritten as (s+1)²+4.

inverse laplace transform of 1/(√(S²+2S+5)

Homework Equations



i AM TOTALLY STUCK I CANT FIND ANYTHING IN THE TABLE OF TRANSFORMS MATHCING THIS.

The Attempt at a Solution

1/sqrt(s^2+1) is the transform of the bessel function J0. That's as near a match as you're likely to find. You'll have to do some scaling and shifting to get it to match your expression. Hint: s^2+2s+5=(s+1)^2+4.
 
thanks, it was doing my head in. I apllied the bessel function with the shifting theorem for an exponential.
