SUMMARY
The Laplace transform of the constant function 1 can be computed in MATLAB using the command laplace(sym(1)). Attempting to use laplace(1) results in an error due to the input type being 'double', which is not compatible with the laplace function. This discussion highlights the importance of using symbolic representation in MATLAB for proper function execution.
