What did you get? Show your work, not just your final result from your attempt.
 
L{4u(t-ர)cos2t
f(t) = cos2t
F(s) = s/ s^2+4
therefore

4s e^-ர(cosர + sinர)/s^2 +4 Ans

Where is the factor the of [itex]4e^{-\tau}(\sin\tau+\cos\tau)[/itex] coming from? What rule are you trying to apply here?
 
here is my solve, if I have done correctly.

Please expert help me.
 
Unfortunately, I find your handwriting a bit hard to read. Could you type out your final answer?

It looks good to me (although you have a very strange way of writing [itex]\pi[/itex]). On a side note, since trig functions are [itex]2\pi[/itex] periodic, you should have immediately recognized that [itex]\cos(2t+2\pi)=\cos(2t)[/itex] without appealing to a trig identity.
 
I think the exponential term in the front incorrectly has an a in it rather than s.
 
  • #10
here is my final Answer
4e^(-as) s/(s^(2) + 4)

what do you think...
 
  • #11
The variable a shouldn't be in the final answer.
