Is My Laplace Transform Solution Correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving Laplace transforms, specifically for the functions $\mathscr{L}\{e^{3a-2bt}\}$ and $\mathscr{L}\{(t^2-3)^2\}$. The initial confusion regarding the first function was resolved by recognizing that $e^{3a}$ is a constant, allowing it to be factored out. The Laplace transform of $e^{-2bt}$ was then correctly identified. For the second function, participants suggested expanding the expression to facilitate the transformation, leading to the correct application of the Laplace transform formulas.

please help me solve this problem

$\mathscr{L}\{e^{3a-2bt}\}$

here's my attempt

$\mathscr{L}\{e^{3a}\cdot e^{-2bt}\}$ from here I couldn't continue

I looked up my table of transform but nothing matches the problem above. I'm not sure if the first shift formula would work here. please help.

regards :)

Oh my! I didn't notice that $e^a$ is just a constant. I can pull it out and take the laplace transform of $e^{-2bt}$ :rolleyes:

Yes you pull out $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \mathrm{e}^{3a} \end{align*}$ as a constant factor. The remaining function should be easy to find the Laplace Transform of :)
 
yes solved it already.

I have another problem here

$\mathscr{L}\{(t^2-3)^2\}$

what's the first step here. I couldn't see any transform that matches the function from my table.

regards.

Expand out the brackets.

Expand out the brackets.

$\mathscr{L}\{t^4-6t^2+9\}$

now $\frac{4!}{s^{4+1}}-\frac{6(2!)}{s^{2+1}}+\frac{9}{s}$

$\frac{24}{s^{5}}-\frac{12}{s^3}+\frac{9}{s}$ is this correct?

Looks good to me :)
