Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around Laplace transforms, specifically focusing on the transformation of functions involving time and the process of finding inverse transforms. Participants are addressing two specific problems related to these concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to compute the Laplace transform of the function t*e^t*sin(t) and the inverse transform of a rational function. There are questions about the correctness of the results obtained and the methods used to arrive at them.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided feedback on the attempts made, with one confirming the correctness of the first problem while expressing doubts about the second. There is an ongoing exploration of the proper approach to the inverse transform, with participants questioning the validity of the results and clarifying the variables involved.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding variable notation, specifically the use of 's' versus 't', which may affect the understanding of the inverse transform process. Participants are encouraged to show their working steps to facilitate better guidance.

hi,
i just started doing laplace transform n i have real trouble doing these two questions, anyhelp would be great...

L{te^t(sint)}
L^-1{1/((s^2+1)(s-1)^2)}
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You need to show some working.

Starting with the question may help...
 
for the first question t*e^t*sin(t) i got
(2s-2)/((s-1)^2+1)^2
and for the L^-1{1/((s^2+1)(s-1)^2)} i got
(e^s/8)-(s*e^s/4)-(e^-s/8)+(s^2*e^s/4)
...doesnt look right does it?
 
The first one is right, let me check the second.
 
Oh, the second is definitely not right. When you take the inverse laplace transform you should get a function of t only with no s. How did you try to do it?
 
oh yea sorry i mean to write t instead of s..my bad~!
but after looking at it again i got

cos(t)/2 - e^t/2 + te^t/2

i think this one is correct..anyway thanks for all your help :)
