Laplace transform: where am I messing up?

[faust9]

Ok, using the definition of Laplace transforms to find \L\{f(t)\}

Given:
f(t)=\{^{\sin{t}, 0\le{t}<{\pi}}_{0, t\ge{\pi}}

So, this is what I did:

\L\{\sin t\}=\int^{\pi}_{0} e^{-st}\sin t dt+\int^{\infty}_{\pi} e^{-st}(0)dt

=\int^{\pi}_{0} e^{-st}\sin t dt

=\frac{-e^{-st}\sin{t}}{s}]^{\pi}_{0}+\frac{1}{s}\int^{\pi}_{0} e^{-st}\cos t dt

=\frac{-e^{-st}\sin{t}}{s}]^{\pi}_{0}+\frac{1}{s}(\frac{-e^{-st}\cos{t}}{s}]^{\pi}_{0}-\frac{1}{s}\int^{\pi}_{0} e^{-st}\sin t dt)

=\frac{-se^{-s\pi}}{s^2}+\frac{1}{s}(\frac{-1}{s}-\frac{1}{s}\L\{\sin t\})

\L\{\sin t\}(\frac {s^2+1}{s^2})=\frac{-se^{-s\pi}}{s^2}-\frac{1}{s^2}

\L\{\sin t\}=\frac {-se^{-s\pi}-1}{s^2+1}

Which I know is wrong because the Laplace for sin t should be:

\L\{\sin t\}=\frac {1}{s^2+1}

I know my limits of integration will affect the problem but the restricted limits should only add a term to the numerator e^{-s\pi} I believe.

Where did I mess up?

Thanks a lot.

Your mistake is in the 5.line, in the evaluation of cos(t) at the limits indicated.

Also, the sin(t) evaluation in the 5.line should be zero.

Got it. Thanks. How silly of me.
