Homework Statement



Find the laplace transform of t sin(t) and t cos(t), and the inverse transform of \frac{1}{(1+s^2)^2}

2. The attempt at a solution

I found the two laplace forms:

\frac{2s}{(s^2+1)^2}

and

\frac{s^2-1}{(s^2+1)^2}

I guess I'm supposed to use the two laplace transforms to find the inverse of this one, but I don't know how to do that.

You can try convolution... doesn't look hard. I partially solved it.
 
Hint: what is the Laplace transform of \sin(t)?

This is the best table I found if you need a quick answer in your research or to check your answer: http://www.vibrationdata.com/Laplace.htm.

For example check out 2.18, 2.20, and 2.21

Right, and so what is \mathcal{L}[\sin(t)-t\cos(t)]?:wink:
 
Lol, it's so easy when you know the answer. One must be evil to give such a problem for the exam.
